Lost Shoe Brewing and Roasting Company, a craft brewery and coffee roastery, plans to open its doors this summer in Downtown Marlborough. The husband and wife team of Melynda and JP Gallagher say they are excited to bring new life to the city and hope to attract both locals and first-time visitors to the downtown area, The Marlborough Patch reported on February 2.

"There is so much going on in Marlborough and as residents of the city we are committed to our community. We want to help create a downtown that people are excited about," said JP in a statement.

JP, a recent graduate of the American Brewers Guild, plans to offer a variety of rotating beer styles, with traditional Belgian and German styles featured along with more experimental beers including New England IPAs and stouts brewed with coffee. Melynda, who studied at the Coffee Lab International, plans to highlight single origin roasts from all over the world using various brewing methods including pour over, espresso, and cold brew.
