“People told us that a 2-barrel system like ours wasn’t a winning concept,” said Ethan Long, an owner of the Rockaway Brewing Company, in an old bacon plant in Long Island City. “So for our next thing, we would love to make it a 15-barrel brewery.” – NYT

This is one of my favorite projects from May Design Series, “The end of the Big Beer Barrel” from Switzerland-based Yask.” – NotCot

We’ve launched a new website at http://rockawaybrewco.com/. This might be your first real introduction to us. So have a look, poke around and let us know if you find any bugs. We suggest scrolling down to RBCo. Radio, cuing up some tunes and then browsing.

Cheers!

“To understand the depth of the infographics in this post, you have to start by swallowing a somewhat odd concept: Jamieson has developed analytical algorithms that actually reason through space. Just like you might place a point on a 2-D or 3-D grid, Jamieson actually arranges traits of a beer–from very specific text descriptions he’s scraped from reviews, like “grapefruity” or “piney,” to very hard, scientific measurements of maltiness and bitterness–into six simultaneous dimensions.” – Fast Co.
