Panacea Launches new Menu- Press Release

Panacea Brewing Company Announces Exciting Menu Expansion to Embrace Inclusivity. New Menu service begins on 3/20/24

Wilmington's beloved Panacea Brewing Company, known for its innovative kombucha and dedication to vegan cuisine, is thrilled to announce a significant menu expansion to embrace inclusivity and celebrate diversity in taste preferences.

Since its inception in 2016, Panacea Brewing Company has been a staple in the Wilmington community, offering a unique blend of great kombucha and delicious vegan fare. However, after careful reflection and listening to valuable feedback from our patrons, we are excited to introduce a new chapter in our culinary journey.

Beginning Wednesday, March 20th, Panacea Brewing Company will introduce an expanded menu that includes options for both vegans and omnivores alike. This shift represents a significant milestone for the restaurant as it strives to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.

"We want Panacea Brewing Company to be a place where everyone feels welcome," said Artie Hill. "Whether you're a die-hard vegan, a devoted omnivore, or somewhere in between, there will be something for you on our menu."

The revamped menu features a delightful array of dishes designed to tantalize the taste buds, offering something for every palate. From classic comfort foods to innovative culinary creations, Panacea Brewing Company invites guests to embark on a culinary journey that honors authenticity and inclusivity.

"We're incredibly grateful for the support of our community and can't wait to embark on this new culinary adventure together," added Robin Hill.

Patrons are invited to visit Panacea Brewing Company's taproom and kitchen to explore the revamped menu and indulge in familiar comfort foods with a twist. The team at Panacea is committed to providing exceptional experiences for all guests and looks forward to serving the Wilmington community for years to come.

Look out 2019!

Phew, it’s been a crazy 2018! In fact, the entire past 2 1/2 years seem like a bit of a blur to us; it seems like we’ve been running trying to catch up with this business ever since we launched.  This community has been so good to us, allowing us to grow beyond our expectations, and for that we are supremely grateful. Here’s a look at where we’re headed in the next year and where we’ve come from. Buckle Up!

In 2019, we’re looking forward to some great things:

• We’re launching our single use kombucha bottles to wholesalers. This means you could potentially get Panacea Kombucha just about ANYWHERE in New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick Counties. Wait till you see the fab bottle design by local Wilmington experts Ebbing Branding and Design.

• We’re debuting our alcoholic products. That’s right, we got our federal brewing license this year and are working on recipes right now. Local kombucha beer on the way!

• We’re moving our taproom! YES, more space, more taps, more fun coming your way! Where? Well, that’s a bit of a puzzle at the moment, but we’ll let you know as soon as we know!

If you’re a new fan of Panacea, or if you’ve followed along since our very first pour, here’s a quick walk down memory lane:

• Panacea launched from the Burgaw Incubator Kitchen with an opening brewing capacity of 20 gallons in August 2016.

• In 2017 we rented a small commercial space to expand our brewing capacity and we worked farmers markets 6 days a week through fall.

• In October 2017 we opened the doors to our tiny taproom. Our brewing capacity increased from 340 gallons to 1400 gallons.

• In 2018 we grew our team from 2 to 7 employees and moved into our new production brewery which has allowed us to increase our capacity to 2600 gallons.

We’re so glad you’re along for the ride! Thanks for an amazing year!
