Aviator Brewing Company started in Nov 2008 in an airplane hangar. We initially brewed into two used dairy tanks. Each tank held 300gallons of beer. Much to our surprise we quickly outgrew these tanks!
We added two used 30bbl fermentors to the brewery and the capacity increased. In Jan 2009 we had started distribution into the Triangle area. The demand for the beer grew faster than we could brew.
In April 2010 we moved from the airplane hangar at Triple W airport to a larger building about 4 miles away. We have expanded the brewery yet again and have added more fermentation tanks and a large cooler.
Drinking beer at a very early age...!
In Sept 2011 we added (3) 60bbl fermentation tanks. We also just added a 22oz bottling system to put some of our beer on the store shelves! (finally). A 30bbl brewhouse is scheduled for installation In March 2012.
Cheers!
