Looks like the Cambridge Brewing Company fermenter expansion is nearing complete! In the latest newsletter, they talk about the 19th Anniversary Party having another reason to celebrate. Straight from the mouth of CBC manager Chris Punis:
Hey there,
I forgot to tell you the other reason for celebrating.
If you’ve been to CBC lately you may have noticed a
fence, pile of dirt, steel beams and scraps of wood.
What’s that all about? Well we’re expanding our
Brewery! It’s slated to be completed in time for the
anniversary party. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
It’s been quite an ordeal.
This expansion process has been…how should I say it?
A pain in the a##! This process began over a year and a
half ago. Due to uncontrollable “external forces” we’re
finally coming down the home stretch.
First of all, due to the manufacturer’s error, our tanks
were shipped to Kazakhstan! (I’m not making this up.)
They then had to be fabricated again and shipped to the US!
Now we’ve got two installed, and three more sitting in
storage waiting for the construction to be finish. Phil had to
battle for the permits and then deal with ‘contractor issues’.
Finally, we are almost there. Only a year behind schedule!!!
I tried to get Phil to do a ceremonious ribbon cutting but he
declined. He said he would be too busy that night trying to
get through all 19 beers.
(I think he made it through 17 out of 18 last year)
New tanks translate directly into more beer for you.
We should have a nice big fat juicy specials board for
you year round.
Speaking of nice big fat juicy specials boards, I still haven’t
gotten a final beer menu, but don’t worry I didn’t forget.
Like I said, we will almost defiantly have Red God IPA.
And we will have Hefeweizen, Big Man Ale, Bannatyne’s
Scotch Ale, Blunderbuss Barleywine, Bitchin’ Bitter and
Blunderbuss Barleywine.
It’s getting close now, but you might still have time to push
Will one way or the other. Let us know what beers you MUST
have and we’ll do our best to oblige. Shoot me an email and
I’ll talk to Will.
I swear I’ll have the complete menu for you soon.
Cheers,
Chris

Sounds great, shame on my for not having been to CBC for almost 6 months now! I use to frequent that place once a month, but now my trips into the Boston area have become to few and far between. Now they just need to let us take home growlers of any beer on tap and I'll be there to bring some goodies home.

Son, a woman is like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you\\\'d step over your own mother just to get one! But you can\\\'t stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!

I agree, growlers of some of their specialty stuff would be AMAZING! Although, I'm just pumped you can get growlers of Great Pumpkin in the fall. I understand where they're coming from, wanting to have enough beer to serve at the pub and all, but with their new fermenting space maybe your dream will become a reality!
