(Hickory, NC) – After months of being cloaked in secrecy, The Skull Coast Brewing Company, Inc. (“Skull Coast”), is pleased to announce that it will be setting up its brewing operations in the former “Hollar Hosiery Mill” in Hickory, North Carolina.
As part of a multi-million dollar historic preservation and redevelopment project, Skull Coast will be occupying the ground floor of the eastern “hanger” structure of the site. Access to the project’s only loading dock makes it ideal for Skull Coast’s operations.
In addition to the 30-bbl brewing system, currently being constructed by Bavarian Brewing Technologies, Skull Coast will be installing a Cask automated canning system to produce craft beer cans for off-premise accounts, and a roughly 1500 square foot taproom.
“We are unbelievably excited to have the opportunity to begin brewing again soon in our our own space, and hope to add in our own small way to the growing reputation and rich tradition of outstanding North Carolina breweries,” says Dave Fox, Skull Coast’s “Chief Drinking Officer.”
The developers of the Hollar Hosiery Mill project anticipate breaking ground in the next several weeks, and estimate that the Skull Coast Brewery portion of the overall project will be set to open in the Summer of 2012.

That will be great. If it is a taproom then you will have growlers. I truly love the Porter.
We could get it at Frugal’s?

Super exciting news! Looks like a great spot. Can’t wait for the taproom. Hoping for a great menu to accompany the great beer.

I am interested in obtaining your mash product from your new plant. My father and I raise cattle, and are wanting to supplement their feed with the mash.If we can work out arrangements, I can keep an empty trailer at your business and replace it at your convenience.I am about 20 minutes away if you need it moved in a hurry. I also have some ideas for barrels that need disposed of. Thanks for considering my request. I have owned a frame shop for over 30 years and have references that I have dealt with for years: Charles Van Horn, Old Hickory Tannery-465-6599, Bob Watts, Kings Creek Furn.-328-2957, Carrie Craymer, Our House Designs-326-6100.
