E-Malt.com News article: USA, NY: Montauk Brewing Co. re-opens for business after an expansion in Montauk

Montauk Brewing Co. has officially re-opened for business, after expanding its building on South Erie Avenue in Montauk to allow the company to brew its beer on site for the first time since its inception, Dan's Papers reported on July 28.

“We’re thrilled to bring the brewery to our hometown,” says Vaughan Cutillo, co-owner of Montauk Brewing Co. The entire process, including acquiring the permits and building the roughly 1,200 square foot extension to the gallery-tasting room, took about three years. The actual build-out was a yearlong process, and the brewery was closed for much of spring 2015. “The support from the community has been tremendous, and we are eager to get people in to see what they have supported,” Cutillo added.

Cutillo and friends Eric Moss (brewmaster) and Joe Sullivan (CEO) founded Montauk Brewing Co. in 2012. Though the recipes are all Montauk Brewing’s, the actual brewing process had previously been contract brewed.

“We will be able to use local ingredients in certain beers and have more flexibility to brew more styles,” Cutillo says.

“We want to create jobs and build our brand to really show what Montauk is at its heart—a group of hard working, outdoor motivated individuals with infinite amounts of persistence,” says Cutillo of the new brewery. “This has been a passionate journey for us, and we are thrilled to continue building this alongside our community.”
