Let’s Get Sharky: Crooked Hammock Lewes Announces Plans for VIP Shark Party

Lewes, DE —  Crooked Hammock Brewery is proud to invite all good vibe seekers to take a bite out of summer at their first-ever Shark Party extravaganza on Thursday, July 25 at their Lewes brewpub. Starting at 5 p.m., guests who purchase tickets for the Shark Party VIP Experience can skip the line and walk right up to The Porch Bar where people showing their VIP bracelets get exclusive access to an open bar until 8 p.m. Meanwhile, Chef Ted Deptula has prepared a special “Shark Feast Buffet” featuring droolworthy items like Shrimp Skewers, Meatloaf Sliders, Honey BBQ Riblets, plus a slew of summertime cookout favorites. 

VIP guests will be privy to shark-themed fun including shark sunglasses, temporary tattoos, and water guns for a backyard super soaker war. Guests are strongly encouraged to embrace “all things sharky,” which means wearing outlandish costumes (think: Jaws characters, Delaware Beach Patrol, adult sharks, baby sharks, yacht captains … whatever floats your boat!) to the guaranteed-to-go viral party. Limited tickets are on sale right now (click here) at a cost of $55 (21+ with valid ID). 

Shark Party has been a rite of passage at Crooked Hammock as it continues to draw on the popularity of Discovery Channel’s favorite time of year. Brewmaster Larry Horwitz has turned up the volume on their Shark Party fruited beer: a mixed berry sour that pours deep red and honors the ocean’s apex predator, available on draft and in 16-ounce cans, clocking in at 6.5% ABV, with lactose to keep the “ripe raspberry refresher” soft and sweet on the tongue.

In addition to the namesake beer, Crooked Hammock will feature live music from Delaware’s best cover band, Decade 80, outside on the Beer Happy Stage while hosting a raucous dance party from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. And be sure to check out the brewery’s iconic hammocks, cornhole games, picnic tables, and outdoor fire pits. 

About us… With three brew pub locations across the United States including Lewes and Middletown, Delaware and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Crooked Hammock Brewery brews easy-drinking craft beer for its never-ending cookout in their festive backyard atmosphere.
