Our hosts sample the final leg of Kevin’s upstate journey, Battle Hill Brewing Company. They discuss beer taxing, Socially Conscious Beer and other ways to use bagels.
Battle Hill Brewing Company
Location: Fort Ann, NY
Brewery URL: https://battlehillbrewing.com/
History:
“Like many of our peers, we started as home brewers. As time went by we asked: What if..? So we began to consider doing this as a career; after all, what could be better than getting paid to do something you love!
Around the same time as the New York State Farm Brewery Bill, we got serious about the idea of a brewery. Plans were made, numbers crunched and a business plan drawn up…things evolved and time went by and we kept moving forward.
Early in 2014 the planets lined up, Battle Hill Brewing Company was formed, we found a home in a cool 19th century building in historic Fort Ann – and the rest is history.”
