Today’s Proof That God Loves Us – There’s Another Microbrewery Coming To Cape Cod
BarnstablePatriot.com – Is there room on Cape Cod for a second microbrewery? Peter Connor believes there is because of the growth in hyper-local microbreweries in recent years and growing consumer interest in local craft beer.
“The consumer environment is probably ready,” he said in a recent interview. He noted that the 2,700 breweries now in the United States is the highest number since Prohibition and the late 1800s and sales and volume brewed by independent craft brewers have increased significantly.
In addition to the successful Cape Cod Beer company in Hyannis, Martha’s Vineyard has two microbreweries and Nantucket has one, so Connor believes the Cape should be able to support another, which will be called Barnstable Brewing Co.
He and his wife, Ann, co-owners of the new company, won the Samuel Adams “Come Brew with Us,” contest in 2012, which allowed him to go to the brewery to brew his beer recipe.
Is there room for another brewery on Cape Cod? Duh, there’s room for like ten more breweries on Cape Cod. There should be a brewery on every street corner. Has the person that wrote this article ever been to The Cape? Asking if there’s room for more beer on Cape Cod is like asking if there’s room for more potatoes in Idaho. Um yeah, beer is what we do bro. If this beer is as good as advertised The Real Cape staff alone will keep it in business.
If Peter Connor was smart he’d find a way to get us some of this award winning beer to test A.S.A.P. We will let the people know if they should be making room in the fridge or not. I know our readers and I’m pretty sure they are responsible for 94% of the beer being consumed on Cape Cod. Just be warned that if your beer sucks we will be passing that information on as well. Our readers may be boozebags, but they can see through bullshit a mile away so there’s no chance we’d blow smoke up their ass.
P.S. How long until the fun police form an army to show up at every permit application hearing Barnstable Brewing Co. has?
