Combine an experienced home brewer with a former brewer from Telegraph and Pyramid and you have the makings (along with a shared history at Vanderbilt University) for Atlas Brew Works.
Here is the back story for this DC area start-up:
“Experienced homebrewer Justin Cox is teaming up with longtime friend and accomplished commercial brewer Will Durgin to bring the District of Columbia fresh craft beer from Northeast DC. Atlas Brew Works plans to install its 20 barrel brew house at 2052 West Virginia Ave NE and begin producing unique local brews in the first quarter of 2013.
Atlas Brew Works’ beer portfolio will include American style craft ales and lagers along with an extensive sour and barrel aging program. The beers will be crafted with careful consideration to food pairings and a flare for experimentation.”
I hope to hear more about their beers and brewery in the future!
