From NJ.com:
River Horse suddenly has the luxury of more space and brewing capacity. Early last month — a little behind schedule — the company moved operations from its smaller brewery in Lambertville to a newly completed, larger space in Ewing.
“Lambertville, we were really jammed in there. Everything was sort of difficult to do,” co-owner Chris Walsh said. “This just gives us a lot more operational flexibility.”
River Horse has moved from a 10,000-square-foot location to a 25,000-square-foot building, giving the brewer the ability to produce new kinds of beer, as well as lots more beer than before.
The factory floor is geared for expansion. As of now River Horse has 11 beer fermenting tanks and two “brite” tanks, into which the beer goes after fermentation to mature and develop natural carbonation. Walsh has space in the buildings for up to 20 fermenters, each of which can hold up to 40 barrels of beer.
The company currently produces 9,000 barrels per year, and hopes to ramp up production significantly over the coming year.
