Brewery Receives Zoning Approval for ‘Blendery’ Tasting Room and Beer Garden
Shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 28, the Swarthmore Zoning Hearing Board unanimously approved the special exception application of Ship Bottom Brewing, Inc.
The vote came and went without any public comment. The decision states that Ship Bottom Brewing, Inc. can operate a “blendery” that will ferment and package beer and cider for on/off site consumption, and operate an indoor retail tasting room and outside beer garden. This is permitted as a special exception in section 1256.02 (c) of the Borough of Swarthmore Zoning Code.
The brewery will be located at 5 Park Avenue in Swarthmore.
