Breweries in Delaware produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
In 2012 Delaware's 10 breweries and brewpubs employed 200 people directly, and 2,600 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing. Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Delaware's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Delaware's breweries and related industries was more than $66 million.

Delaware Route1 (DE1) is the longest numbered state highway in the U.S. state of Delaware. The route runs 102.63mi (165.17km) from the Maryland state line in Fenwick Island, Sussex County, where the road continues south into that state as Maryland Route 528 (MD528), north to an interchange with Interstate95 (I-95) in Christiana, New Castle County, where the roadway continues north as part of DE7. Between Fenwick Island and Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Kent County, DE1 is a multilane divided highway with at-grade intersections and occasional interchanges. The route heads north through the Delaware Beaches resort area along the Atlantic Ocean before it runs northwest through rural areas, turning north at Milford to continue to Dover. Upon reaching Dover, DE1 becomes the Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway, a freeway that is partially tolled. Between Dover and Tybouts Corner, DE1 parallels U.S. Route13 (US13), crossing over and featuring interchanges with it multiple times. Past Tybouts Corner, the freeway heads north parallel to DE7 to the northern terminus of DE1 in Christiana. DE1 serves as the main north-south state highway in Delaware, connecting the Delaware Beaches with the Dover and Wilmington areas.
DE1 was first designated in the 1970s from Fenwick Island north to US113 in Milford, replacing a portion of DE14 south of Milford and following the newly-constructed Milford Bypass. DE14 between Fenwick Island and Milford had been built as a state highway in the 1920s and 1930s and was widened into a divided highway between the 1950s and 1970s. In the 1980s, a controlled-access "Relief Route" of US13 was proposed between Dover and the Wilmington area in order to relieve that route of beach traffic. This proposed highway was incorporated into DE1 in 1988, with the route extended north concurrent with US113 between Milford and Dover to connect to the Relief Route. The DE1 freeway between Dover Air Force Base and Christiana opened in multiple stages between 1991 and 2003, and at a cost of $900 million was the largest public works project in Delaware history. The concurrent US113 designation between Milford and Dover Air Force Base was removed in 2004. Upgrades continue to be made to DE1 such as the construction and improvement of interchanges as well as widening portions of the road. (Full article...)
