🌟 Thank You, Wilmington! 🌟

After five incredible years of serving this amazing community, we’re excited to share that the restaurant portion of Panacea Brewing Company has been sold! We’re filled with gratitude for your unwavering support, kindness, and the memories we’ve made together.

The new owner will be renaming and rebranding the location as The Panacea Restaurant, but rest assured, the menu you know and love won’t change—you’ll still find your favorite dishes right here! Plus, all Panacea Brewing Company products will continue to be available in-house, and the restaurant will remain a growler-filling location for Panacea Brewing Company kombucha, hard kombucha, and beer.

Additionally, customers may redeem Panacea Brewing Company gift cards at the Oleander location through January 15th, 2025. After that date, gift cards will only be honored at our brewery location.

As for us, we’re focusing on the brewery and are thrilled to invite you to our new tiny taproom at the brewery location, where you can also fill your growlers and enjoy our brews in a cozy new setting.

Thank you for letting us be part of your lives for the past five years. Here’s to the next chapter for Panacea and the restaurant we’ve called home!

With love and gratitude,
The Hill Family & The Panacea Team

About

It all started when...

Back in 1993, when Artie and Robin were just two kids in a small upstate NY high school, Artie began experimenting with fermentation. His dandelion wine didn't win any awards, but he didn't have any trouble unloading it to his friends either. While attending culinary school Artie worked at Loon Ale Brewery in Manchester, NH, mainly because he couldn't resist all the free beer he could carry after his shift ended on the bottling line. After college Artie began home brewing beer, wine, and ciders. Robin was never much a fan of any of these and decided to start brewing her own ferments, first water kefir.  After a few years battling over her open ferments cross contaminating his beers, Robin decided to try another probiotic ferment- kombucha. 

Finally, a ferment they could both agree on! Kombucha's tart and tangy taste captured their hearts and resolved Art's lifelong acid reflux issues. After getting rave reviews about their homebrew, the couple launched Panacea Brewing Company in 2016 from the Burgaw Incubator Kitchen. They started selling at farmers markets from a Artie's custom built tap system on the side of their 1975 Volkswagen Westfalia, now called the Boochbus.  In 2017 Panacea Brewing Company moved into their new space located at 102 Old Eastwood Road Unit A5.  Panacea Brewing Company continues to grow organically, taking bigger steps one batch of booch a time. 

2020 Update- Panacea Brewing Company opens new plant based kitchen and taproom featuring the area’s most loved kombucha, local beers, full bar and scratch made foods. Located at 4107 Oleander DR. Unit H Wilmington, NC 28403.

2025 Update- Panacea Brewing Company sold the restaurant portion of the business to a new owner, now operating as The Panacea Restaurant. Same menu, same Panacea Brewing Company beverages on draft, same great staff and good vibes!
