Florence Massachusetts' newest brewery in final stages of Grand Opening



To our loyal followers and future fans of our beer and brewery…..Yes, we keep pushing out our GRAND OPENING.            However, Brew Practitioners, located in Florence Massachusetts, has always been ahead of schedule.  It has even been noted that this is one of the most organized brewery startups in New England.  So organized that we are still waiting on the officials to catch up to us. We are still waiting on the last permit, the pouring permit, so that we can serve that frosty, well balanced beer that we have been touting.   Rest assured, the beer is on track. 3 on tap today and 4 in the fermenter. Mmmmmm.

Hang in there everyone. We are just weeks away for the grand opening of Brew Practitioners in Florence / Northampton Massachusetts!!

From “Nano-Brewer” to “Micro-Brewer”



This past weekend Joebob, the head brewer at Brew Practitioners in Florence Massachusetts, was able to do what many home brewers dream of. He was able to brew Barrels at a time instead of gallons at a time (yes, I know, a Barrel is 31 gallons ). What an experience. A little bit nerve racking brewing so much more beer at a time  but in many ways, it is a bit easier because the equipment is so much better. Pumps to move the water and the sweet wort, spray balls to assist in cleaning and a fancy control panel to ensure all temperatures are spot on. But probably the biggest difference that Joebob has noticed is the actual size of the equipment and how much easier things flow through a 1 ½ inch hose or pipe. Things move faster, things don’t get stuck, and your wort goes where you want it to when you want it to and at the correct temperature.

Head Brewer Joebob wanted to make sure to document this experience and not lose sight of a 12 year dream that has come true!!  Now, let get that beer fermented and into kegs so you all can come by and taste our “Labor of love”!
