Stable Craft Brewing is investing half a million dollars to expand in Augusta County, the company announced Tuesday. The project will create 13 jobs.
The brewery plans to add a bottling line and expand distribution “to reach more consumers in more places convenient to their travels, in addition to Stable Craft Brewing’s current availability in restaurants, taverns and dining establishments,” Craig Nargi, the company’s owner, said in a statement.
The company will purchase 88 percent of its agricultural products from Virginia farmers.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe approved a $15,000 grant from the Governor’s Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development (AFID) Fund for the project, which Augusta will match with local funds.
The Virginia Jobs Investment Program is providing funding and services to support the company’s employee recruitment and training activities.
