Work is now in progress to build Lewes Brewing Co. on Savannah Road in Lewes.

The site plan for the small brewery was approved in October 2021. Owners Christine and Dave Jones plan to use the four existing buildings on the 0.63-acre parcel. The brewery operation and tasting room will be in the westernmost building on the site. Plans show an L-shaped bar and a small indoor seating area. It will be complemented with an outdoor patio.

The building that was most recently used as a resale shop is planned for offices, while two buildings on the east side of the property will be used for storage.

A website, lewesbrewing.com, has been created for the brewery, though little information is available. Under the menu, it lists eight different beers: a hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, lager, American brown ale, sour, stout, pale ale and pilsner.
