Cape May Brewing Company (CMBC) is a craft brewery at the Jersey Shore, USA. Beginning its operations in 2010 and officially launching in July 2011, the brewery has grown from a 12-gallon system to a three-vessel, 30-barrel brewhouse. Having produced over 100 beers, the company's tasting room now offers the widest selection of any in the state. The beer is available at over 300 locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, many in Cape May County where the brewery is located. ==History== After taking up the hobby of homebrewing, Bob and Ryan Krill and Chris Henke opened Cape May Brewing Company (CMBC) in July 2011,〔 having incorporated in October 2010. Henke, a mechanical engineer, built the first brewing unit out of scrap metal. After searching for a suitable location in South Jersey, the owners began the operations at an unused warehouse at the Cape May Airport, located at 1288 Hornet Road in Rio Grande, New Jersey.〔 On December 1, 2011, the Delaware River and Bay Authority officially opened the tasting room and allowed for tours of the brewery.〔 Initially, the CMBC began brewing 12 gallons at a time, but gradually expanded.〔 In the first year of operations, the CMBC brewed 62 barrels, or about 1,900 gallons. Now, they brew approximately 6,000 barrels per year. In 2012, the council of Lower Township provided a ten-year, low-interest economic development loan as part of its Revolving Loan Fund, the first such loan from the township in nine years. The loan utilized funding from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and was provided to purchase new equipment and for construction costs. After the loan, the CMBC rebuilt its taproom and expanded its brewing operations.〔 In 2015, the CMBC further expanded into a nearby warehouse, adding a new brewhouse, bottling line, and new tap room, at the cost of $500,000 (USD). In May of this year, the company dedicated the new brewhouse, capable of expanding their yearly production to 15,000 barrels. Currently, they are converting their original brewery into a sour beer production facility. Also in 2015, CMBC President Ryan Krill was elected President of the Garden State Craft Brewers Guild. Under his leadership, the Guild more than doubled in membership, crafted a Best Practices document for Jersey tasting rooms, launched a (new website ), hired its first Executive Director, and successfully lobbied Congress for greater job creation within the industry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape May Brewing Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
