Brewery🐾 Dogs OKMad Mole Brewing
Friends and co-workers Martin de Jongh, Ole Pederson, Chris Worden, and Thomas Varnum are partners in Mad Mole Brewing. Ole and Martin have been homebrewing for the better part of the past decade and wanted to share their passion for beer. They are looking forward to bringing more great beer to Wilmington. The name is a combination of the “M” from Martin and Ole’s name. Adding "mad" to "mole" is a nod to “mad scientist”. As brewing is a science more than a guessing game.
