The nice folks from Saltwater Brewery have their eye set on becoming Delray Beach’s first microbrewery. They are currently in the construction phase of building their brewery and they took some time to answer a few questions about themselves, their beers, and the construction process.
Saltwater Brewery begins with lifelong friends coming together to share their mutual love of beer and the ocean. Bo Eaton, Chris Gove, and Peter Agardy realized that together their business skills bring together local beer knowledge, financial know-how, home brewing passion, and sales experience, and together they could form a great team making beer for the community where they all grew up. Along with head brewer Bill Taylor and apprentice brewer Dustin Jeffers, the Saltwater Team looks forward to the day where they will be a local craft beer destination in Palm Beach County.
While Saltwater’s core beers are still up in the air, to be determined by the needs, wants, and bar tabs of customers, the brewing staff anticipates six beers making the first run in the brewery: “an extra pale ale, an IPA, a DIPA, a milk stout, a Belgian blond, and a scotch ale.” Once the schedule is arranged and worked through, the team at Saltwater will brew beers on a 20-barrel brewing system made in Oregon City, Oregon, overseen by Taylor.
While Saltwater reiterated on Sunday through Facebook that “…we still can’t give a definite date for opening but we are working EVERYDAY here to get things right, it’s been a long road and we appreciate the support and following, and it pushes us to strive to get things right and open as soon as we can!!”
More details on Saltwater Brewing’s grand opening as it becomes available.
