Richard Taylor displays some of the hops he is growing on his farm in Hebron that will be used for his R.S. Taylor and Sons brewery being built on his Washington County property\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY ANDREA PALMER<\/p>\n

It’s a ‘hoppy’ day at the old Misty Bleu
\nRanch, where R.S. Taylor & Sons brewery is
\nslated to open in August. Richard and Kelley
\nTaylor are in the final stages of building
\nthe tap room and brewery, as well as their
\npersonal residence, on the 50-acre property
\nlocated in Hebron, on the eastern edge of
\nWashington County.<\/p>\n

The farm, at 3602 County Route 30, will
\nprimarily grow hops used in the beer, and
\nwill eventually add small plots of wheat and
\nbarley, the owners said. Visitors may take
\ntours of the farm. During harvest time, visitors
\nwill have the chance to participate in
\nthe hops harvesting process.<\/p>\n

“We want this to be a destination site for
\npeople to come and spend the afternoon.
\nThey can come have a beer, get a bite to eat,
\ntake a tour and see what actually goes into
\nwhat they’re drinking. You can’t truly appreciate
\na good beer until you know what goes
\ninto it–see, smell, feel the hops. You start to
\nunderstand that beer is not just a product in
\na glass, but something that comes from the
\nground,” Richard Taylor said.
\nThe state Department Agriculture & Market
\napproved a 20-C production kitchen for
\nthe facility, and an abbreviated menu will be
\navailable for visitors.<\/p>\n

R.S. Taylor & Sons has a moderately sized
\nbrewing area featuring a 2.5-barrel system
\nwith stainless steel brewing equipment from
\nPortland Kettle Works.<\/p>\n

“It was very important for us to purchase
\nthe brewing equipment from an American
\ncompany, and the system we are buying from
\nPortland Kettle Works is 100 percent made
\nin the U.S.A,” he said.<\/p>\n

A state-of-the-art complete water system
\nfrom Wel-DUN, Inc. was installed in the
\nbrew room, and reverse osmosis is used to
\ncreate a blank slate water profile ideal for beer brewing.<\/p>\n

The brewery and tap room are connected
\nand adjacent to Taylor’s home residence.
\nThere is a door on the exterior of his home,
\nimmediately perpendicular to a door leading
\ninto the brewery, with a four-foot-square
\nspace between the two. “The state mandates
\nthat there cannot be a door between a residence
\nand a brewery, so we had to move the
\ndoor over about eight feet to comply,” he said.<\/p>\n

Taylor has been a home brewer for years.<\/p>\n

Legislative changes in 2012 allowed the
\npossibility for him create a business out of
\nhis long-time hobby. He and his wife had
\npurchased the 50-acre plot of land in 2010,
\nwith the intent of living there one day.<\/p>\n

“The land was barely recognizable back
\nthen,” he said. “It was completely overgrown.
\nYou could not even see the waterfall or the
\ncreek at all. We’ve done a lot of work since
\nthen and it looks amazing.”<\/p>\n

Inside, hand-stained and finished mahogany
\nFrench doors grace the tap room and
\nbrewery entryways and exits. A wraparound
\nporch augments the face of the house and
\nbrewing facility.<\/p>\n

R.S. Taylor & Sons will operate year-round.
\nTaylor plans to put in groomed snowshoe
\ntrails for winter months.
\nTaylor also owns commercial property on
\nWolf Road in Albany, and plans to open a tap
\nroom at that location in the future.<\/p>\n

“Many people in the Albany area are
\ninterested in craft beers but don’t really
\nmake it up to the North Country very often.
\nHaving a good tap room in that area might
\ninspire some to take a trip up north to see
\nwhere some of their favorite beers are made,”
\nTaylor said.<\/p>\n

R.S. Taylor & Sons plans to host a soft
\nopening in August, and a grand opening
\nshortly after. The farm’s website is www.mistybleufarm.com.<\/p>\n
