(Salisbury,MD) Evolution is getting ready to tap a much larger production space in Salisbury, Maryland as the new base for Evolution Craft Brewing Company and the Public House. In addition, Southern Boys Concepts’ corporate offices will be located in the Salisbury facility formerly known as the "Reddy Ice Factory" at 201 E. Vine Street in Salisbury, Maryland.
Evolution Craft Brewing Company is a small batch craft beer brewery that currently has distribution in Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC and Northern Virginia. The brewery currently produces an established series of mainline beers as well as a wide variety of specialty beers.
Renovation is underway to ready to the space for enlarged brewing operations, offices for Southern Boys Concepts and the new Public House restaurant. It is anticipated that the location will be ready in the early months of 2012, with the restaurant portion to open in mid January; and the production brewery to open in late February.
The expansion will allow Evolution's brewing capacity to increase and strengthen its supply for their distribution regions in Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC and Northern Virginia and for growth into neighboring areas. The current production facility in Delmar, DE would continue to be used through February 2012 and it will then evolve into a new concept.
The building design team has been helmed by G. Matthew Drew of AWB Engineers of Salisbury, MD and the construction is being done by Temco Construction. The site was brokered by Brent Miller CCIM CPM of Sperry Van Ness Miller Commercial Real Estate and his team.
Evolution has grown incredibly in its first years of operations with exciting growth potential ahead. In 2009, brothers Tom Knorr and John Knorr worked with brew master Geoff DeBisschop of Boston, Massachusetts to create the Evolution Craft Brewing Company. In the past two years, the brewery has established itself as a new contender in the world of craft brewing. Regional and statewide media outlets across the Mid-Atlantic region have been toasting the beers and the success of Evolution. Evolution continues its streak of winning the Chesapeake Beer Madness contest for 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Southern Boys Concepts is a well known area hospitality group as the owners of 5 restaurants that include Sobo's Wine Beerstro, Specific Gravity Pizzeria and Bottle shop of Salisbury, MD, The Red Roost in Whitehaven, MD, Boonie's Chophouse & Pub in Tyaskin, MD and Bistro Cinq in Antiques, Guatemala.

Rock on Evolution!
Very wise businessmen.
Remember it was DELMAR that stepped up for you and allowed you to develop without the fees and outrageous hand of government in your pocket! I understand your need to expand and wish you luck, but don't leave us high and dry in the wake of your success.
anonymous 4:45, Perhaps Delmar should have given them a bar license?????
