Saint Benjamin Brewing Opening In North Philadelphia
From Philly.com:
TIM PATTON, 37, of Fishtown, is the founder of Saint Benjamin Brewing Co. in North Philadelphia. Patton bought an old warehouse and, after several years of planning, he and co-brewer Christina Burris hope to open a nanobrewery during Philly Beer Week, which begins today.
Q: How’d you come up with the idea for Saint Benjamin?
A: I and a friend started an online coupon-and-deal website in 1999 that offered discounts on Amazon, pet food and other stuff. I was there until 2009 but wanted a different career path. I’d gotten interested in homebrewing and the beers I was making turned out decent. I researched the industry and visited breweries in Seattle.
