Framingham craft beer maker Jack's Abby Brewing will undergo a major expansion that will allow it to ramp up production, offer its beer in cans and 12-pack bottles and open a restaurant and much larger tasting room.
The 3-year-old company has leased new space in Framingham that will expand its brewery more than five-fold to 67,000 square feet with state-of-the-art brewing equipment.
"The craft beer industry, as a whole, has been picking up (and) we've been beneficiaries of that," said Eric Hendler, who cofounded Jack's Abby with brothers Jack and Sam. "Additionally, we do only lagers, which are not very common for craft breweries to make. We feel that distinguishes us to the consumer."
Jack's Abby's best-selling beer is Hoponius Union, an India pale lager.
Its new quarters in a former Avery Dennison plant will have an initial brewing capacity of 50,000 barrels annually — which it doesn't expect to hit in the first year — and space to expand to 125,000. The Hendlers plan to start brewing there in late 2015.
This year, in its current 12,000-square-foot brewery, the company will brew 14,000 barrels to service customers in Massachusetts, Connecticut and parts of New York and Vermont — up from 6,500 barrels last year.
"We're expecting to brew around 25,000 barrels in 2015, which is the maximum our current space is capable of producing," Hendler said.
