Captain Lawrence Brewing Company is an award-winning craft brewery located in Elmsford, NY. The brewery is owned and run by head brewer Scott Vaccaro.〔 Vaccaro, a homebrewer since 1995, trained in brewing science at UC Davis.〔 Many of Captain Lawrence's beers are strongly influenced by traditional Belgian ale styles, although often with an American twist. Barrel-aging and ales with sourness or flavors contributed by wild yeasts, such as Brettanomyces, and bacteria are also part of their repertoire. Like many small breweries, Captain Lawrence seeks to be environmentally sensitive, including donating spent grain to a local farmer for use as cattle feed. Their beers are fermented in stainless steel cylindro-conical vessels. The brewery takes its name from Captain Lawrence Drive in South Salem, NY - the road on which Vaccaro's childhood home is located. The street is named after Samuel Lawrence (1733-1796) who was a Captain in the (Westchester County Militia, 3rd Regiment ) during the American Revolution. The facility in Elmsford is open for tastings, visits, and retail sales Wednesday through Friday, 4-8pm, Saturdays, noon - 6pm and Sundays noon - 5pm 〔 Growlers are available for take-out. Half kegs and mini kegs (5 gal.) can be purchased by arrangement via the brewery website: (CaptainLawrenceBrewing.com ) == History == Vaccaro brewed his first beer before he was legally allowed to drink. As a teenager in high school he saw a friend's father brewing beer at home, asked if he could participate, and was told it would be ok if he got his parent's permission first. After entering Villanova University to study accounting, Scott realized his real desire was to become a professional brewer. He transferred to UC Davis and studied fermentation science. He interned at Adnams Brewery, in the U.K. Following graduation he worked at Sierra Nevada and the short-lived Colorado Brewery in Danbury, Connecticut. Captain Lawrence Brewing Company was founded in 2006. The first brewery was located on Castleton Street in Pleasantville, NY〔 and had a 20 barrel system. After five years, needing more space to operate a bottling line and a larger system to increase capacity, the brewery was relocated to Elmsford, NY,〔 approximately five miles from the original brewery. The new facility has a 40 barrel brewing system and more fermentation capacity. There is also a small seven barrel system for experimental and specialty batches. The new brewery began operation in 2011.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Captain Lawrence Brewing Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
