The Somerville beer business would like to open a larger facility in the city. It's also lobbying Beacon Hill on a beer-related matter.
The Somerville Brewing Company, a relative newcomer to the local craft beer scene—it started selling its beers commercially about 15 months ago—is hoping to open a larger facility in Somerville sometime in 2013, according to Caitlin Jewell, who owns the beer company with Jeff Leiter. Currently, the company's business office and test lab are located near Teele Square, but the actual batches of beer sold to the public are brewed at Mercury Brewing Company in Ipswich. "We hope to bring more of our brewing operations to Somerville," Jewell said about the company's goals. Jewell stressed the beer company hasn't received any permits yet, but it's working to sign a lease, and "that's what we're shooting for," she said. Since going commercial in …

The new Somerville Brewing Company will launch its line of beers, which have a provocative name, at a party tonight in Union Square.
There's a new beer in town. Three new beers, actually. At a launch party being held tonight at The Independent in Union Square, the brand-new Somerville Brewing Company, based on Broadway outside Teele Square, will introduce a brand of craft beers called Slumbrew. More on the name later. The Somerville Brewing Company is the creation of Caitlin Jewell and Jeff Leiter, Somerville residents who started home brewing more than 10 years ago and slowly turned their hobby into a profession. They took a leap into the world of professional beer making when, in 2009, they converted their garage into a 350-square-foot "nano" brewery, which, based on the photos, would make most home brewers insanely jealous. Filled with scaled-down professional …

Somerville has not been in the past helpful to any businesses. I have seen this many times first hand here. We have lost so much here because of this. I would say about 20 years ago seems like the timeline as I can recall it started to go antibusiness. You would think they would welcome it as it means so much revenue for the city. But they don't. It is very difficult when first getting started as… more ›
