Nate Wildes and Jared Entwistle, co- owners of Flight Deck, told e Times Record that the brewery's location at Brunswick Landing will provide many benefits, including its large electrical consumption being offset by renewable energy credits available to businesses at the campus. Unlike most brewer- ies, which rely on fossil fuels during the brewing process, according to Wildes, Flight Deck will use an electric brewing system. Wildes and Entwistle added that the Brunswick Landing location will also mean that Flight Deck will be the only distributing brewery with a tasting room in greater Brunswick.
