Harbor Brewing Selects Vermont-based Designer For Construction Of New Brewery
Harbor Brewing Company, a developer and acquirer of craft brewing companies and select craft beer labels, has signed an agreement with Vermont-based Bread Loaf for the design and construction of its proposed new brewery.
According to the agreement, the design firm has to assist the company throughout each phase of the process including planning, design, pre-construction and construction, and will also oversee the design and construction of an expansion of the company's existing restaurant, the Sackets Harbor Brew Pub.
Thomas Scozzafava, president and CEO of Harbor Brewing Company, said: Over the past months we have met several times with Bread Loaf team members, and after internal discussion we feel that they best understand our culture, our intended aesthetics, and importantly, our business goals as they relate to both the potential new brewery and the expansion of the restaurant. As stated earlier, another positive attribute of Bread Loaf was its recent design and construction of two other similar-sized breweries.
Harbor Brewing Company intends to build a new facility for the production and bottling of a series of labels in its portfolio including Railroad Red, Harbor Wheat and Saint Stephen's Stout, along with seasonal beers such as Ontario Oktober Fest and Pumpkin Spice. The company will continue to outsource the brewing of its brands with High Falls Brewing Company, but will also look for contract brewing for other smaller breweries.
Stephen Flynn of Sackets Harbor Brewing Company, said: Our goal would be to eventually brew about 25,000 barrels per year at our own facility and simultaneously have at least another 25,000 barrels of our most popular selling brands contract brewed.
“We feel this 'inside-outside' approach gives us both the economic advantages of scale as well as the ability to produce smaller-scale specialty beers and react more quickly to evolving tastes in the marketplace.Bread Loaf also shall oversee the expansion of the Brew Pub restaurant, which we think could increase restaurant revenues by over 30%.
