Fairport Brewing Company Reaches Goal

Congratulations to the Fairport Brewing Company for reaching their $25,000 Kickstarter goal. They'll be putting the money towards purchasing a 3 barrel brewing system.

"A 3 Bbl (barrel) will offer six times more capacity than we have today and this equipment will give us more control over the beer that we make. Increased capacity will also allow us to meet our present demand and to start self distributing to local establishments." - Fairport Brewing
