LEADFOOT BREWING: BRINGING BEER BACK TO CHICOPEE AFTER 44 YEARS

“CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - The craft beer drought in Chicopee is over.  

After more than 44 years, beer production is coming back to the city with the grand opening of Leadfoot Brewing on Friday. 

Owners and longtime friends Jeff Thibodeau and Patrick Randall have been waiting for this moment for years. They started brewing beer at home and gradually made bigger batches before getting serious about opening a brewery and taproom. “
