Saltbox Kitchen in West Concord to Start Brewing Beer

A farm-to-table restaurant west of Boston will soon be doing something that should make beer lovers happy.

Eater Boston is reporting that Saltbox Kitchen in West Concord plans to add a brewery component to its Commonwealth Avenue space and is currently doing a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise $30,000 in funds for beermaking equipment and ingredients. The article says that if all goes as planned, the dining spot could be offering such options as IPAs, pale ales, and farmhouse ales, and it will make beers using fruits, herbs, honey, and spices from its farm (Saltbox Farm) on the other side of Concord. In addition to serving its beers at the restaurant, Saltbox Kitchen will also allow customers to fill up growlers at the eatery, though the beers will not be sold outside of the eatery, according to EB.

Saltbox Kitchen first opened in July of 2015.

The address for Saltbox Kitchen is 84 Commonwealth Avenue, Concord, MA, 01742. Its website can be found at http://www.saltboxkitchen.com/

[July 15 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe says that Saltbox Kitchen's brewery is now up and running, with the place offering $7 pints and to-go growlers. The post says Saltbox Prophecy Farmhouse Ale and Emerald Prophet Pale Ale are a couple of options being available.]
