Saint Benjamin Brewing Company has a home
Homebrewer turned craft-beer professional Tim Patton, who incorporated his Saint Benjamin Brewing Company in 2010, has locked in a physical location for his nascent nanobrewery. This past Friday, he closed on an industrial-zoned property at 1710 N. Fifth Street (intersection of Cecil B. Moore) that he hopes to have up and running by this summer. (By Philly Weer Week ideally, but more likely in the July/August window.) Most recently a warehouse, the building used to be a sewing machine factory; before the 1920s, it was a carriage house for a beer company. Bringing the address back to its pre-war roots, Patton aims to start out by brewing three to three and a half barrels, or about seven kegs' worth, at a time.
Patton's launch plans are very conservative — he'll begin by producing two flagships and maybe one seasonal/holiday option. Eventually, he wants to get to the point where he's cranking out 15 to 30 barrels annually. "Whether they're high or low alcohol, my beers tend to be on the smoother and matier side, not so much hoppy," says Patton, who has experience with styles like cream ales, Belgian-style wits and barleywines. If you've yet to try a Saint Benjamin beer, he'll be pouring at the Fishtown Neighbors Association chili cook-off on March 25.
