Gig Harbor Brewing doubles production capabilities after just 9 months

Kendall Jones August 31, 2016

After nine months of brewing, Gig Harbor Brewing is expanding to nearly double its production capabilities. The brewery in Tacoma recently installed two new 20-barrel fermenters. The expansion comes after only nine months of brewing by head brewer, Mike O’Hara, and a distribution agreement with Olympic Eagle Distributing signed in May for Pierce, Mason, Kitsap, Thurston, Grays Harbor, and Pacific Counties.

“Mike has done a fantastic job in the brewery,” said owner John Fosberg, “and the quality of the beer has been a big hit in our taproom and in many bars and restaurants across Olympic Eagle’s territory. Mike is a big reason for our early success, and we are very, very lucky to have him here.”

Mr. O’Hara has more than 14 years of experience as a commercial brewing and most recently worked at Georgetown Brewing for eight years before joining Gig Harbor in the fall of last year.
