USA, MA: Brewery Silvaticus heading towards September opening in Amesbury

Brewery Silvaticus is heading towards a September 2017 opening at 9 Water St. in the Carriage Mills complex in downtown Amesbury, reports the Globe, and while several local restaurants will carry Silvaticus beer on draft, the team “expect[s] to sell most of their product under their own roof.”

The taproom will serve full pints, plus crowlers to go, and there will be an outdoor beer garden on the Powwow River.

Per the Silvaticus website, the team “share[s] a deep respect for the traditional beers of Europe and our goal is to pay homage while innovating and adapting our craft to push it forward.” The focus will be on Belgian farmhouse ales and German-style lagers.

Two of the brewery’s four founders, Mark Zappasodi and Caroline Becker Zappasodi, own Tamarack Farmstead in Merrimacport, where they’ll grow their own hops for some Silvaticus beers, according to The Improper Bostonian.
