Taking a cue from the name of its neighborhood, Strawberry Hill Brewing Company (601 Central Ave.) is set to open this spring. The brainchild of Derek Kempf and Larry Murray, the operation started as a home-brewing club between neighbors who discovered a shared love of beer. After acquiring a few extra members, a couple of years of experience, and a lot of positive feedback, the team is gearing up to open the brewery and taproom, which will pay tribute to Strawberry Hill with its décor while launching with a handful of brews. Keep an eye out for the Wyandot IPA, a red IPA ideal for hot summer days, and the Long Road Ahead, a stout that can be enjoyed by aficionados of the style and newbies alike.
