Blue & Gray’s facility at the Bowman Center will become Adventure’s production brewery, Bornholtz said. Adventure has outgrown its three-barrel brewing system.

Blue & Gray has a 20-barrel system, which will allow Adventure to keep up with demand: producing beer for its tasting room and distribution to local restaurants. Adventure also plans to can more of its beer.

“The biggest thing is we have to make more beer,” Bornholtz said. “We needed to do something.”

He said the logical choice was to buy a system that was already operational because it would allow them to get more beer to market faster.

What Adventure produces in a week will be produced in a day on Blue & Gray’s equipment.

Adventure plans to retain Blue & Gray’s brewer Cody Natale and some of the other staff.

Bornholtz said the goal is to have no down time in beer production during the transition. About half the beer produced will be canned, he said.

He said there are no plans to make changes to Adventure’s tasting room on Perchwood Drive in Stafford. The brewing system there will be used to test recipes.
