Battle Road Beer

Battle Road Brewing Company was founded in 2012 by Jeremy Cross and Scott Houghton. Both have had decades of experience in professional brewing throughout New England and in Jeremy's case, across the country. Scott, while working at Salem Beer Works, met Jeremy, fresh from the UC Davis Brewing Diploma program, when he joined the Beer Works team. Bo... th found they had similar, complimentary views and philosophies both in life and in the brewing of beer that afforded them years of harmonious collaboration. After many years as Head Brewer at Salem Beer Works, (including three Gold Medals at the Great American Beer Festival), Scott left the company after 12 years of dutiful service. He then founded BreweRepublic in December of 2007, as a consulting and Brewery Development company. Jeremy, leaving his position as Head Brewer of Fenway Beer Works, (the largest volume brewpub east of the Mississippi at the time), joined this endeavor in 2008, and they both set off as entrepreneurs into the toughest economy in nearly 80 years. Over the next several years, in addition to consulting in the United States and abroad, (most notably in the Czech Republic near Prague) BreweRepublic continued to develop brewery concepts for their own goal. The idea to develop as Battle Road Brewing Company came from the evocative history surrounding Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They also identified with the notion of perseverance and resistance against tyranny that is the backbone of the history of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1775. We honed the concept and the business plan, achieving our funding goal ahead of schedule. Battle Road Brewing Company proudly operates in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Our first brand is "1775 Tavern Ale", a pleasantly hopped Pale Ale utilizing the finest ingredients. We hope "1775"becomes a beer you can count on as a solid choice. We will increase our offerings throughout the upcoming year so stay tuned!Read More
