With the opening of Other One Brewing, a new craft brewery and tap room at Glennpeter Plaza in Halfmoon, co-founder and president Randy Lewis has checked one more thing off his bucket list.<\/p>\n

Lewis has been a home brewer for years, an interest shared by his son. But with a new baby and grandchild on the way, the timing wasn\u2019t right for a father-son enterprise, he said. But it was just right for his three neighbors, Brian Hutchinson, Pete LaPan and Matt Stillitano. During the pandemic the four started making beer and working out of Hutchinson\u2019s garage, splitting all the expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now they own a business.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrewing isn\u2019t cheap,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cWe\u2019ve spent well into the six figures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story began when one of the neighbors came over to his home to watch the brewmeister at work \u201cand to drink the stuff,\u201d Lewis said. As interest grew, Lewis said, \u201cI\u2019m not getting any younger. Let\u2019s open a small tap room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis is retired but the other three still work full time. Nevertheless, they agreed to run the tap room with no outside staff.<\/p>\n

Lewis said he did some market research and analysis to assess what styles and flavors of beer the community would buy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b>\u201cIf you brew it, they will come,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cThat\u2019s one of my mottos. I have put together a lot of recipes over the years. Like a baker, take a little of this and a little of that, a lot of trial and error. We are small enough that we can experiment. Sometimes you have to take a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was \u201cjust a chance opportunity\u201d that space became available when a restaurant moved out of Glennpeter Plaza on Route 9 at the corner of Grooms Road. Lewis\u2019 wife Tracy is chief operating officer of Glennpeter Jewelers, so he knew the landlord, Jeff Weiss.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff helped us as we faced our biggest challenge of getting a brewer\u2019s license,\u201d he said. \u201cNew York requires that you be an entity with a place ready to come into as soon as you obtain the license.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your license is denied, your time and effort and money may have been wasted,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were ready three months in advance with a tap room and no sales, but Jeff worked with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partners did not apply for any small business loan and paid cash for all expenses, including the build-out, he said.<\/p>\n

The partners did the remodeling themselves.<\/p>\n

Other One Brewing started up in April offering six styles of beer on tap and two months later has 11, including a red beer, a stout, light American ale, a sour beer, several IPAs and the flagship Sajulus, a New England IPA that Lewis describes as \u201chazy and fruity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once permitted, wine will be served as well, but not food.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can make beer, I can\u2019t cook,\u201d said Lewis. \u201cBut customers can bring in their own food or have food delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n

The capacity is 45 people in the tap room and production of 6,200 gallons of beer a year, 200 gallons at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cDown the road we would like to acquire a canning mechanism and distribute 16-ounce cans to markets,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n
