RiverWalk Brewing Co. of Newburyport, Mass., unveiled plans for a new 20,000 sq. ft. brewery and taproom slated to open this summer.
We will get to the specs and what makes the new location cool, but as always, the coolest part of any expansion is knowing your roots and staying local — this was important to RiverWalk Brewing Co. founders Steve and Betsy Sanderson.
“We love the community we’re in and they have been so supportive. We wanted to stay here,” they stated. “We had options and offers from other places, but we found a local location that is perfect for our vision.”
