USA, OR: Medford Brewing Company to establish contract brewery relationship later this year

Medford could be the next local city to get its own craft beer: Medford Brewing Company is seeking a contract brewery relationship so its brews can hit the market later this year, Eater Boston reported on August 21.

Founders Nick Bolitho and Max Heinegg "are very early on in the stages," Bolitho told the publication. "Right now we’re finalizing the flagship recipe, but also in the middle of trying to secure a contract brewery somewhere where we can actually brew the beer."

Heinegg, "a seasoned homebrewer," is currently working on the recipe in his basement. “Expect something for both hop heads and the average beer drinker,” Bolitho said.

"There’s a lot of ‘extreme beers’ out there, and that’s not what I’m going for. What I want to achieve is good beer that’s got a bit more of a universal appeal," Bolitho said.

"Craft beer with universal appeal" is the motto on Medford Brewing Company's bare-bones, under-construction website.
