Claws and crafts will coincide at 316 Gray St. soon. The Crab Guys takeout-delivery spot will also house the new Shellfish Brewing Company with the takeout crabs moving outside and the brewery taking over the indoors. Other than that, those behind the project are tight-lipped. They did let out this nugget of info: Shellfish should be open in about 1-1/2 months.
The brewery under construction at 1145 Savannah Road just received its building supplies last week, only still waiting for the stone that will go around the foundation of the brewery, said David Jones, who owns the brewery with his wife Christine. Once the stone is in, then they can install the siding and windows. Lewes Brewing will be a 10 bbl brewhouse with six fermenters and a pair of Brite tanks. There will also be a 1 bbl system for one-off beers. Speaking of beers, expect everything from IPAs, New England IPAs, and pilsners to lagers, fruited sours and stouts with seasonal beers thrown in. The spot will also have an outdoor beer garden, outdoor deck and indoor seating with a large bar. Food trucks are expected to post up and sell meals to hungry beer-drinkers. Jones hopes to be open this fall.
