E-Malt.com News article: USA, NC: Bombshell Beer Co. to open in Holly Springs

The first all-female-owned brewery, Bombshell Beer Co. is set to open in September in Holly Springs, News Observer reported on July, 25.

Bombshell expects to open the place with beers that include German pilsner, pale ale, Indian pale ale and porter. The owners will also offer specialty beers, including jalapeno, lemongrass and coconut. They want to appeal to a broad beer-drinking audience, one that includes people who might not be into craft beer, by offering lighter brews and beers with fruit and citrus that “a wine drinker might enjoy.”We are working as a team to develop a lot of the market recipes,” Miniutti said, one of the three owners.

The trio hired Stephen O’Neill from Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh to be the head brewer and develop creative beers that aren’t available at other breweries.

The place will have a 1,500-square-foot tasting room and sell offerings in flights, pints, growlers and kegs. The place is still working on its pricing and occupancy, but hopes to seat around 90.
