New Brew: Operation To Open In Former Ice-Cream Factory

A building on North Market Street that once produced ice cream will now produce beer.

Phil Bowers, managing member of Monocacy Brewing Co. LLC, is establishing a craft beer production business at 1781 N. Market St.

Bob Frank, owner of the Flying Barrel, which sells ingredients and supplies to home-brewers and winemakers, plans to rent 3,000 square feet of the 15,000-square-foot building.

Bowers said he hoped to open the brewery in November. With the equipment in place, the brewery could produce up to 20,000 barrels a year and, over time, could hire up to 25 employees.

Monocacy Brewing will produce its own line of craft beers, as well as craft beers sold at Brewer's Alley in downtown Frederick. It also will contract to brew for clients.

Hey 8:50, don't blame 7:02. If "Contributor" would do just a bit of editing to the stories he/she cuts and pastes, we would know. News services do this with wire copy all the time. All "Contributor" would have had to do was add "in Frederick" after "on North Market Street," but for some reason SbyNews often misses this kind of simple stuff that would make the blog easier to read.
