Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, has announced the names of the opening management team for Ocean View Brewing Company, which is under construction on Route 26 in Ocean View.

Brittany Gross and Christine Wood are the general managers overseeing all aspects of the dining room. Gross was general manager of Matt’s Fish Camp in Fenwick Island, which opened late last year, and Wood was manager of Matt’s Fish Camp in Bethany Beach. Mike Mullikin is the assistant manager.

Lou Ortiz, executive chef, was previously executive chef at Thompson Island Brewing Company in Rehoboth, which he helped open.

Teo Hernandez, formerly of Thompson Island, and Nick Brennan and Omar Hernandez are the sous chefs. Brennan has worked at The Clubhouse at Baywood in Millsboro and Matt’s Fish Camp in Fenwick Island. Omar Hernandez is a veteran SoDel Concepts employee, having worked for years at Bluecoast Seafood Grill + Raw Bar in Bethany Beach.

On-site brewing operations are being overseen by Taylor Smith. Chad McMaster is director of operations, and Maggie Cellitto is corporate chef for the new brewpub. Both have been with SoDel Concepts for many years.

“Ocean View Brewing Company benefits from the skill and experience of a seasoned management team,” Kammerer said. “These excellent leaders know SoDel Concepts’ culture and mission inside and out. They want to make a difference in the Ocean View community, which has been so supportive and welcoming.”

Ocean View Brewing Company is an independent brewery and 200-seat restaurant with indoor dining, and outdoor dining in a beer garden with a fire pit. Located near NorthEast Seafood Kitchen, another successful SoDel Concepts restaurant, Ocean View Brewing Co. will offer a relaxed but high-energy vibe, delicious food and exceptional service. There is also plenty of parking.

The restaurant is scheduled to open in spring 2022. For information about SoDel Concepts and restaurant locations, go to sodelconcepts.com.
