For Matt and Lindsay, Shortway Brewery is more than a business — it’s a place where community comes together. Built with passion and purpose, they’ve created a space that connects neighbors, visitors, and local businesses across the Crystal Coast.

What started as a dream has grown into a true gathering place, where locals unwind, visitors discover something new, and relationships are built over shared experiences. Their commitment goes beyond great service — it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels welcome.

Tourism plays a key role in making that possible. Visitors bring new energy and support, helping sustain the business during peak seasons, while strong local connections keep it thriving year-round.

Their story is a reminder that when you support local, you’re supporting the people who pour their heart into the community — helping small businesses grow, partnerships flourish, and the Crystal Coast remain a place people love to return to again and again.
