Myrtle Beach is set to welcome a new brewery, 357 Brewers, which is expected to invest $6.4 million into a transformative coastal campus at Grande Dunes Marina. This project will occupy over three acres along the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway and aims to enhance the region’s hospitality landscape.

The new brewery will feature a state-of-the-art 10,000-square-foot facility equipped with both 15-barrel and three-barrel brewing systems. This design allows for flexibility in brewing a wide variety of beers, with an emphasis on unique flavors. The campus will also include a full-service kitchen that offers both indoor and outdoor dining options, catering to visitors year-round.

One of the standout elements of 357 Brewers will be the “Carolina Music Yard,” a dedicated venue for hosting live concerts and events. This addition is anticipated to make the brewery a vibrant community hub, attracting both locals and tourists seeking entertainment and dining experiences.

The project is being developed by brothers Nick and Jesse Vaugh, who bring significant experience in the hospitality sector. The Vaugh brothers have previously owned several successful restaurants in Horry County, including Crave Italian Oven and Bar and Sol Y Luna. Earlier this year, they opened 357 Raw Coastal Bar, which had laid the groundwork for their vision of a brewery campus. The development of 357 Brewers is seen as a milestone in their entrepreneurial journey, promising an exciting new venue for the Myrtle Beach area.

Estimated to provide around 35 job opportunities once completed, 357 Brewers is positioned to be a significant contributor to the local economy. The project has garnered support from South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, who has highlighted the brewery as a noteworthy addition to the state’s business community.

Construction for the brewery is scheduled to begin in early fall 2025, with an expected completion timeline of one to one and a half years. This timeline puts the grand opening of 357 Brewers in the summer of 2026, coinciding with the busy tourist season in Myrtle Beach.

The site for the new brewery will be conveniently located near the existing 357 Raw bar and Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, making it easily accessible for visitors and residents alike. The Vaugh brothers’ combined knowledge and experience in the food and beverage industry are expected to play a crucial role in the successful launch and operational sustainability of this new venture.

As the project progresses, community members and stakeholders are hopeful that 357 Brewers will not only enhance the dining and entertainment options in Myrtle Beach but will also establish itself as a cornerstone of the coastal area’s vibrant culture.

Overall, the unveiling of 357 Brewers marks an exciting development for Myrtle Beach, with potential opportunities for growth and community engagement in the years to come.
