It&#8217;s a big facility: we can do 50 and 100bbl batches here, rather than the 20bbl batches we&#8217;ve been doing in Holyoke. This is fantastic, because it gives us a lot of growing room, but it&#8217;s also a scary prospect for me and Martha. 2.5x the beer means 2.5x the costs, and basically 2.5x the risks. But we are really excited to make the leap, it&#8217;s going to be great, and we are loving this brewery! <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s not only the capacity that creates excitement, it&#8217;s also the location:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The brewery at Westport is kind of a dream come true for me.
