Troy brewer opens own bottling operation
Albany Business Review Reports on Our New Toys By Michael DeMasi The Business Review Excerpts from the Article: _There was a lot of broken glass on the floor when Garrett Brown fired up his new beer-bottling machine in Troy earlier this month. But that's understandable. It was the first time the brewpub owner and his head brewer, Peter Martin, pushed the buttons on the machine in the basement of Brown's Brewing Co. "We're very much a hands-on group of brewer's,"Brown said. "You put in a foreign piece of equipment and we...'re all thumbs." Fourteen years after opening a brewpub and restaurant inside a renovated warehouse on the banks of the Hudson River,Brown has embarked on what has been his goal since getting into the business: selling bottles of locally brewed beer in stores. The first 120 cases of Brown's Pale Ale were shipped Nov. 7 by Tri Valley Beverage of Utica. The initial effort will target the more than 40 beverage centers in the region. Two other beer styles, Oatmeal Stout and India Pale Ale, will also be bottled. Ultimately, Brown plans to move the bottling equipment to an old paper mill on the Walloomsac River in North Hoosick (the mill is pictured on the bottle label). He's in the process of converting the mill-the former Flowmatic Valve Plant-into a brewery that would boost his production capacity to between 15,000 and 18,000 barrels annually._ *see more of the article: albany.bizjournals.com November 16-22,2007
