July 25, 2011 - Brokerage
Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. has inked an 18,243 s/f lease at 444 Saw Mill River Rd. Captain Lawrence plans to relocate its 8,000 s/f operations from Pleasantville and build a new facility that will increase its brewing capacity and create a number of additional jobs. The CBRE team of Kevin Langtry and William Cuddy negotiated the long-term lease commitment on behalf of Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. Owned and operated by local Westchester County resident Scott Vaccaro, the Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. has experienced growth over the past few years. "After five and a half years of brewing at our current location, 99 Castleton St. in Pleasantville, New York, we are excited to be moving to a larger facility. The Village of Pleasantville, and our local neighbors, have been a tremendous part of our success and we hope they will make the short drive to visit us in Elmsford," said Vaccaro. Vaccaro plans to have the new brewery and tasting room up and running by the fall. This new facility is larger and can accommodate much taller vats, allowing for a five times the brewing capacity and the addition of a bottling line to begin rolling out its flagship Freshchester Pale Ale in 12 ounce bottles. The new tasting room will be 1,500 s/f and will include a new draft system for serving beer and filling growlers. Langtry said, "There were a number of requirements that needed to be met including high ceilings, abundant electrical power and municipal water, which took some time to find. After a lengthy search the space at 444 Saw Mill worked out fantastically." Langtry said, "It was a pleasure working with a great local company, and especially one that happens to make my favorite beer."
