Yet another new brewery...

How about we all wait until they are open, try the beer, and pass judgement then?

 

Don't be a jerk, man.

New breweries open all the time, everywhere. Give 'em a chance first.

 

You made it sound like this is a bad thing. I never have an issue when new beer hits the market, especially local. Also, I never put much value on anyone's "resume". Good luck to them.

 

Sounds horrible. I feel bad for you, hopefully you don't live close to it.

 

There goes the neighborhood....

 

Great, a brewery in my town...thats all I need.

 

I'm on it.

 

curiously, i find no negative intonation in thread title or OP.

but quite interested to see what's in my backyard, first i'm hearing of this....

 

Looks like they sent a press release out about 16 hours ago via twitter to BA and other beer peeps. I can walk to this place from my house so would love to sit down with them over a beer.

 

the blog link wasn't working on my phone, but reading it now, i recognize the brewer's name as a friend of friends, small beer world.

 

Hey folks. I'm Keith Antul, the brewmaster (sounds a bit grand, I know) and one of the owners at Medusa. Glad to see that some Hudsonites have already caught wind of our project.

Like many of our contemporaries, I'm starting this directly out of a homebrewing background, though I have some additional pedigree. I've collaborated with Ben Roesch at Wormtown several times, most visibly when we brewed Pro-Am Porter and took a medal at GABF. Also did a beer with the Tap in Haverhill, and spent many an early morning at Gardner Ale House.

Hope that shines a little more light on things... certainly feel free to let me know if I can answer any questions. Cheers!

 

So its a red ocean in the business world. Craft beer still only accounts for less then 10% of the $90,000,000,000 market.

 

been in stow for over a decade, nice that there now options to the 'shoe.

 

No worries! We just went "public" yesterday, and we'll certainly be getting more information out as we progress. As you mentioned, it is indeed the first brewing operation since Pilgrim, though this will be predominantly a pub environment. Drafts and growlers will be our focus. Stow's not too bad, shorter than my commute will be.

 

And Rail Trail. Hudson will have quite a walk-able beer scene.

Yes, we'll be a brewpub-style place, with fairly substantial seating (100+). We will only be serving our own beers. We are working out the details, but we will offer some small plates and you're welcome to bring food in. Plenty of places around, and we're next door to Hudson House of Pizza.

 

I think if you got rid of the YET in your thread title it would fix the negative connotation
