Gloucester Brewing Co. landed a $10,000 small-business grant that will help its efforts to reach more customers, the business announced.
“We are dedicated to brewing exceptional craft beers that cater to all tastes while creating a community hub in the heart of Gloucester Main Street,” Mike Brewer, owner of Gloucester Brewing Co., said in a news release. “This support will allow us to continue making facility improvements and serving our community with high-quality, locally brewed craft beers.”
The Backing Small Businesses grant program by the National Main Street Center in partnership with American Express provides support to businesses that are integral to the economic and social fabric of their communities, particularly those in historic commercial districts. The program awarded grants to 500 recipients across all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico this year. Grantees will have the opportunity to apply for an additional $30,000 enhancement grant that will be awarded to 25 small businesses.
The grant will help Gloucester Brewing, founded in 2018, expand its marketing efforts and enhance customer comfort as it commits to fostering a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, the business announced.
