E-Malt.com News article: USA, VA: MoMac Brewing Co. renovating space for its future brewery
Brewery news

MoMac Brewing Co. has begun renovation on 6,600 square feet of space in the Academy Crossing Shopping Center at 3228 Academy Drive in Portsmouth, the Virginian-Pilot reported on January 30.

When completed, the space will include a viewable, onsite brew works, a private meeting room and a covered outdoor seating area, Portsmouth city officials said in a news release Jan. 30. The brewery and tasting room are slated to open this summer.

MoMac will use a 10-barrel Alpha Brewing system to make its craft beers. When the brewery opens, MoMac hopes to have no less than six seasonal and year-round brews on tap for the grand opening. In addition, they will offer 32 oz. crowler cans and growlers for carryout.

“We are ecstatic to finally give legs to a dream that began several years ago, when we started home brewing as a weekend hobby,” Rob Hess and Scott Krick, two of five owners of MoMac, said in the announcement. “Of great importance to us is becoming a solid contributor to Western Branch, Churchland and surrounding communities.”

Portsmouth said in its news release: “The name MoMac is derived from Monitor Merrimac, in deference to the roadstead waters of the James, Nansemond and Elizabeth Rivers. In the same way, this confluence of rivers offer safe harbor from rip currents, spring tides, and swells, MoMac wants to be a place of rest and relaxation for all patrons.”
