The Next Draft: Bull Spit Brewing Co. in Lancaster weighs clean break, fresh start with new brewery in Winchendon

Once, naively, I believed that a brewery could thrive in any town or city in this state.
I had been convinced that every community could benefit from hosting one or even three breweries. Any trepidation from local leaders would fade once they see the kind of social and economic benefits breweries offer, or get to know the hard-working small business owners running them. There are always exceptions, of course see Sunday River Brewing Co. in Maine but mostly you’ll find examples of breweries beloved in their hometowns, lauded as model businesses.
