Nomad Brewing Company update

Chris Post e-mailed me an update on his new endeavor yesterday. I know Chris through the New York City Homebrew Guild, where I have drank many of his excellent beers. Chris has also brewed at Chelsea Brewing Company and Greenpoint Beer Works. He is starting his own brewery, Nomad Brewing, in North Adams, Massachusetts. The Massachusetts business license, as well as the necessary approvals from the city and local water treatment plant, have been received.Chris is hoping to negotiate a deal with the local spring so that he can brew with their water. Plans are to move in early September, although trial batches are being brewed now. He brewed Gyle #1, a bock, in the brewery building a few days ago. A saison, American pale ale, and Belgian witte have also been brewed. A corney keg of the Saison will be on tap at 4th Avenue Pub in Brooklyn this Sunday evening. 4th Avenue Pub is located on 4th Ave between Bergen Street and St Marks Place, phone number 718-643-2235.
