Another new small craft brewery coming to a great craft beer market….Portico Brewing in the Boston, MA area. Details from Bostinno.com:
The market was ripe, and the trio said “screw it” to internships, spending the summer of 2011 brewing and trying to come up with a name for their new venture. They landed on Portico Brewing Company, paying tribute to Rabe’s architectural schooling. In the world of architecture, portico is an entryway, and they thought the name spoke to the unassuming nature of their craft beers, which Rabe describes as “accessible to the everyday guy or girl who drinks PBR and wants to try craft.”
Realizing they wouldn’t be able to just come up with $2 million out of thin air to open their own brewery, they decided to look for space in an existing local brewery. Watch City Brewing Co. in Waltham took them in as contract brewers in February of this year, and by April, Portico had their very first batch of beer.
