Good for them. I've enjoyed quite a few of their beers. Not my favorite brewery atm, but definitely a solid brewery. Glad to see their demand growing and them being able to keep up with it. I wish more breweries had the ability to keep up with demand in New England, but unfortunately that is not always the case ($$$$$$).
In my opinion, this is great news. It indicates to me that their intended business structure (contract brew while simultaneously creating their own brand of core offerings) is getting very dialed in. Potentially, Phil will have loads more time now to work on one-offs, such as Urban Funk and the Gueuze they have planned
Does anyone have more accurate capacity numbers? In Dec 2012, they supposedly had 150,000 bbl/yr capacity, with plans to bump that to 200,000 in 2013. Did they revise their capacity numbers down for their existing equipment, or are they aiming lower? Other big NE breweries include A-B in Merrimack (3.3M bbl), Red Hook (280k bbl), Magic Hat (155k+ bbl)...
