10 Hartford Business Journal • November 2, 2015 www.HartfordBusiness.com Still Hill Brewery setting up Rocky Hill Tap Room F ledgling Still Hill Brewery is preparing to open its first Tap Room in Rocky Hill's Shunpike Business Center. The 4,200-square-foot space at 1275 Cromwell Ave., also site of the brewery, fit Still Hill's needs for an affordable serving space, including utilities, ceiling height, zoning and accessibility, according to founder-head brewer Scott Barbanel. Year-old Still Hill Brewery primarily is a packaging brewery that sells to restau- rants, bars and retail package stores, Bar- banel said. Recently installed were about a half dozen stainless-steel brewing tanks. The brewery is investing about $90,000 in space improvements for the tap room, a portion of the build-out proceeds coming from landlord Shunpike Business Center LLC, he said. Still Hill volunteers, too, have lent hands with the improvements. Perri Mechanical is plumbing contrac- tor. MJP Electrical is doing the electrical work. Pierce Carpentry and Remodeling is overseeing specialized construction work. Initially, volunteers also will staff the Tap Room, which will be open Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons to start, Barbanel said. Eventually, as traffic and cashflow grows, he said he hopes to employ three part-time workers in the tap room, and three full-time workers for the brewery. Meantime, Still Hill was close to its goal of raising $15,000 through online crowd- funding, Barbanel said. About $14,000 had been raised as of Oct. 27. The extra money, Barbanel said, will cushion Still Hill's operating capital. It also will allow it to upgrade the tap room's inte- rior comforts, including new sound insula- tion, lighting and seating, plus an upgraded heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. $3.2M Hartford plaza listing The Unity Plaza shopping center in Hart- ford's North End is for sale, with a $3.2 mil- lion asking price, brokers say.
