Charlie Benedetti did not always work at a brewery.  Two years ago, after a 34-year stint on Wall Street, Charlie’s firm asked him to become a partner.  A week later Charlie quit to become a founding member of Newburgh Brewing Company, which first opened its doors in April 2011. Now their beer is served at choice establishments throughout the five boroughs (also right here in Bushwick) and around the greater state of New York. Their on-site taproom, which opened in June 2012, consists of a 6,000 square foot Bavarian beer garden with up to 18 beers on tap at any given time – 4 constants, 2 rotating, and a mix of seasonals and one-offs – and a full, and delicious, food menu. When asked if he regrets leaving Wall Street, Charlie confesses he misses the money, but not the lifestyle. And if they continue brewing at their current rate and quality his investment in Newburgh should pay off. Charlie has done his homework and while Newburgh Brewing is not turning a strong profit yet, they are at least breaking even, a rarity among upstart breweries.
