HAMPTON, Va. — The first Black-owned brewery in Hampton Roads is officially open for business.  
1865 Brewing Co. celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting Friday afternoon. The brewery is located on Mallory Street in the Phoebus area of Hampton. 
Owners William Comer and Rodney Malone originally planned to open in 2020, but pandemic-related issues postponed their debut more than once.

"We decided to open in the middle of a pandemic, so it is hard to get supplies and equipment and stuff like that," said Malone.
