Hey folks. Sadly, I've never really been able to keep up with the forums here, but I've been a listener for many years and I very much credit Jamil's style shows in drastically improving the quality of my brewing. Like many of us, I'm sure, I've tinkered with the idea of starting a brewery for many years, but I never really found a path that would make it happen on the right terms. I just hoped that if I kept doing what I was doing, eventually the right opportunity would come along, and that's pretty much exactly what happened. The lease has been signed, so I can finally start talking about Medusa. It's been a very long time coming, but a team has come together and we are finally making progress in establishing a new brewery.
Medusa Brewing Company will be a 100+ seat taproom brewery located in a 5,000 square foot space in Hudson, Massachusetts.. It will not be a brewpub in the conventional sense: we are definitely in the beer business and not the food business. (While we'll offer some small bites, visitors are welcome to hit up our various neighbors for food or bring their own.). With a 7-barrel brewhouse and a substantial cellar capacity, we'll be offering a wide and varied rotation of beers on draft as well as growler fills.
Although the ball is rolling, the licensing and construction phase is lengthy, and our current projected opening date in July 2014. In the meantime, those interested can follow our progress on the web/Facebook/Twitter. You can find all that junk at http://www.medusabrewing.com
Cheers, - Keith
