Hello and Welcome to Glasstown Brewing Company. Please take a minute to check out our story of how Glasstown Brewing Company came to be.
In 2013, Glasstown Brewing Company was founded based on the dream to have a job that was fun and exciting. After years of working in the private sector as an Environmental Consultant and bartender, I decided that I could live out that dream by focusing my efforts on something I love. Â BEER! Â After years of home brewing and sharing beer with friends and family, it occurred to me that it was time to turn this hobby in to a business. Â Something I could enjoying doing day in and day out, "the dream job." Â
With a lot of hard work Glasstown Brewing Company opened on December 20, 2013. Â Glasstown Brewing Company was named after the rich history of the City of Millville. Â The town for which the brewery bases its name, was once the glass making center for the country. Â This unique town and plentiful silica resources made Millville one of the premier locations in the country for glass making. Â Millville has had a rich and vibrant history, which is still prevalent in its Glasstown Arts District and the Clay College which continues to educate artists. Â The brewery is proud to share in the history of Millville and its name as Glasstown Brewing Company. Â The brewery is also proud to be located at The Millville Airport where it is located within the Army Airfield Historic District. Â The Millville Army Airfield played an integral part in WWII where pilots were trained to fly the infamous P-47 Thunderbolt. The Millville Army Airfield was also the first of its kind in WWII.
