Brew Pub On Tap for Edgartown

Have you tried Bad Martha beer and ale? The Bad Martha Brewing Company launched its first products last summer and is now planning a brewpub and retail shop in Edgartown, according to the Vineyard Gazette, which reports that the company has received approval to build a facility on the Donaroma's campus on Upper Main Street.

Who's behind the brew pub? Here's what Bad Martha Brewing Company posted on Patch last summer:

"Bad Martha beer is brewed by Bad Martha Brewing Company, a new island-based venture owned by Jonathan Blum, a 20+ year seasonal resident of the island and Peter Rosbeck, a long-time island resident. Blum’s plan for Bad Martha is to not only create an excellent craft beer, but also a business centered around socially responsible practices. 

Product Mission: To make and sell the finest quality handcrafted beers made by caring employees who share a commitment to incorporate wholesome, fresh ingredients while promoting business practices that respect the community.

Social Mission: To operate the Company in a socially responsible way, by first sharing a portion of beverage profits with local hunger relief charities and employees before rewarding its investors. 

Economic Mission: To aggressively grow sales and profits to achieve a triple bottom line - one that will financially benefit community charities, reward employees and maximize shareholder return. 

Company Motto: Get Bad. Do Good.  Drink Responsibly."
