ABOUT US
Why 7 Hamlets?
ABOUS
Both of our families live in Westmoreland and many of us grew up here as well. We are a close knit family and value our community. So, when we bought our building in Westmoreland, NY; we knew that we wanted our name to hold meaning for us and our town. When researching the history of our town, we discovered that Westmoreland, NY had 7 original Hamlets (small settlements). Picking a name for our brewery was quite the process and we were so relieved and happy to find something we love as much as we love 7 Hamlets.
We now use the 7 Hamlets as an inspiration in our brewery from naming some of our craft beers after Hamlets to our décor, specifically using maps of Westmoreland.

What started as a hobby, quickly became our passion. We started brewing in June 2013, on a 5 gallon homemade system. After a few years of brewing on our homemade system, we decided to purchase an electric 1 barrel system consisting of 3-55 gallon stainless steel kettles with a goal to perfect our craft and open our own brewery.
Then, in 2019, our dream started to become a reality when we purchased a building in our home town of Westmoreland, N.Y. With the help and support of our friends and family, we transformed that building into 7 Hamlets Brewing Company and we were open for business on March 27, 2020!
We’re excited to share our craft beer with you all and offer a warm and inviting place to spend time with your family and friends.
Thank you all for your continued support and we’ll see you soon!
