USA, MD: Silver Branch Brewing to open third location in Rockville

Silver Branch Brewing at 8401 Colesville Rd #150 in Silver Spring has announced it is seeking investment to open a third location in Rockville, The MoCo Show reported on September 17.

The brewery plans to expand its operations and relocate its brewing operations to a new Rockville facility, which will allow them to increase production capacity and expand distribution. With the brewing equipment moved, they plan to build a full kitchen at its Silver Spring location and launch their new Mosaic Pizza brand.

Per Silver Branch: “Silver Branch has been capacity-limited for over two years. We have needed more space to brew so we can meet the demand of Silver Branch beer in wholesale, and we have needed more space to build a kitchen in Silver Spring so we can meet the demand for private events and a more diverse menu for groups and family dining. Opening Warrenton in 2023 has helped to address some of our capacity constraints, and has grown Silver Branch revenues by nearly over 50%, but at the same time, it has accentuated the need in Silver Spring for a larger kitchen and the need for an efficient brewery.

“The new brewery space in Rockville is designed to allow for simultaneous shipping and receiving, brewing, and packaging. Our current too-small space only permits us to undertake one of these activities at a time. The ability of the brewing team to work in parallel rather than sequence will improve efficiency and the additional space will allow for production of at least twice as much beer, permitting us to expand distribution to new geographies and to higher-volume retailers. In particular, this means the ability to open conversations with grocery store chains in Virginia. In terms of our hospitality business, moving our brewing operations to Rockville will expand our tradition of bringing people together over beer and food to the great Rockville-Gaithersburg area, and increase the range of food we offer at all of our locations.”
