Fordham & Dominion, aka FoDo for short, is a union between a Virginia brewery and Maryland brewhouse. Today, their extensive menu covers spiced ales with quirky pinup-inspired names in Dover, Delaware. Great for anyone with a sense of humor who favors tangy or spiced flavors in their beer, FoDo Brewing presents heavy competition to Maryland's RaR. RaR started in 2013 with the mission to brew local beers. They built their brewery in an 80 year old pool hall and bowling alley, producing American and Belgian inspired brews with citrusy flavor, ten barrels at a time. If you love a tart taste, RaR will definitely be a treat for your tastebuds.
