The Exeter Zoning Board of Adjustment has unanimously approved granting a special permit to a Stratham businessman allowing him to open the town’s first-ever brewery, Seacoastonline reported on December 18.

The plan to open The Neighborhood Beer Co. won swift approval from the board during a meeting on December 17.

Berwanger told the board that the brewery – which will also feature a tasting room and offer tours to customers – will be located in an area of Exeter where town officials have long hoped for more commercial development.

Berwanger, who with a partner ran a craft brewing company in his hometown of Chicago, said he was seeking to open the brewery in Exeter because he believes in the town.
