WILMINGTON — Mad Mole Brewing, opening soon on Oleander Drive, is only the latest addition to Wilmington’s bustling craft beer scene. But the owners aren’t worried about competition. In fact, they’ve embraced their fellow brewers – and the feeling has been mutual.
New kids on the block
Owners and brewers Martin de Jongh and Ole Peterson hope that Mad Mole, located across the road from Wrightsville Beach Brewery and not far from Waterman’s Brewing, will be a part of a brewery community.
“The other brewers have been so welcoming to us, we’ve had a chance to compare notes, and learn from them,” de Jongh said. “You know, the hope is that there’s now even more of a reason to come down this way. You can have a few drinks here, have a few drinks over there.”
