A few months back I posted about Captain Lawrence Brewing Company and being glad I got some pictures before they left Pleasantville. I was able to check out the new facility in Elmsford recently. Wow! Massive compared to the Pleasantville locale.
Just like Pleasantville, the new location is tucked in the back of an industrial area and if you were not looking for it, you'd not even know it was there. However, as soon as I turned off the road and saw the silo, I knew I was in the right place.
As I came around the back side of the building, you get a look at a new beer garden they've put together. It would be awesome to sit out on a nice evening and put back a few pints of some fresh beer that you just picked up from inside.
As soon as I stepped into the new building I was blown away by the size of the tasting room. I was used to the small room and bar they used to have. There is plenty of room now for folks to grab some beer, stand around and chat and not feel crammed.
Just off of the tasting room is a glass door with a fenced off area that you are free to walk out and check out the production facility. They were in full bottling mode that day!
I'm assuming they added some capacity just by the pure number of vessels I saw.
Before leaving picked up a growler of their "Freshchester" (Pale Ale and play on words of the County of Westchester).
Overall was really impressed with the new facility and I'll plan to try to stop and an pick up a growler everytime I'm back in my home town.
