Boston Brew-Your-Own-Beer Brewery Raises Money for a Philly Location | Eater Philly

"I learned that Hopsters, a Boston-based brewery that first opened in 2013 in Newton and debuted a flagship location in Boston’s Seaport District in early 2018 after a Wefunder campaign that raised almost $2 million from 500 investors, is crowdfunding to raise $4 million for a Philadelphia outpost in the 2400 Market building; founder Lee Cooper says the Philly site will be part regular brewery, part “DIY brewery” where patrons can design their own beer, and part restaurant serving wine and cocktails along with beer, with a hoped-for opening in spring 2019 and plans to be the first location outside Massachusetts in a broader expansion to 16 locations by 2022." - Rachel Vigoda
