E-Malt.com News article: USA, NC: Shade Tree Brewing Company to open in the Triangle area

Andrew Simmering and David Britt, RTP software engineers, are working towards opening a new brewery in the Triangle area: Shade Tree Brewing Company, Pr.com reported on January, 20.

They are opening on a scale that would make a micro brewery feel like a multinational conglomerate. They are calling themselves a nano brewery and planning on producing only enough output to support their local community. This is not because of restrictions or inability, but rather they believe that a smaller output will allow them to make a commitment to quality and creativity. It's also not all about profit as they are already working on plans for unique, no-profit projects. One such project is a series of charity beers brewed in conjunction with local homebrew clubs. Another, which throws back to their programming roots, is a community-designed open source beer.

Shade Tree Brewing Company was founded in April of 2010, and plans on launching before 2013, and will do so with two staple beers: a Kölsch-style hybrid ale, and an Imperial IPA. As they move forward, they plan to have a rotating selection of seasonal beers, as well as experimental or uncommon styles.
