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.

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.

Panacea Brewing Company- Your Dry January Headquarters

1. Lavender Hops - Composed of citra hops and lavender! This flavor has a similar taste to that of an IPA, due to the inclusion of citra hops. Your friends can pour their liquor, and you can indulge in the healthier alternative, without missing out on the feeling and taste of drinking.

2. Detox - Made up of ginger, dandelion, and chamomile! Perfect for those that need a little detoxing from alcohol and 2019! 

3. Triple Berry Ginger - Composed of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, ginger, and cardamon! This flavor is a classic! It’s one of our oldest flavors, and reminds us a bit of summer and sunshine, with its heavy berry content - which is incredibly welcome throughout these colder months! 

Farmers Market Anyone?
