Intervale, NH — Ledge Brewing Company, a beloved local craft brewery known for its
small-batch beers and strong roots in the community, today announced that it has been
acquired by Matthew (Matty) Burkett, long-time bartender and general manager. The
change in ownership marks an exciting new chapter for Ledge Brewing Company as it
prepares to expand its offerings, enhance the taproom experience, and strengthen its
role in the local outdoor community.
Under the new leadership, Ledge Brewing Company will continue to operate under its
existing name, honoring the tradition and loyal following it has built over the years.
Burkett and his team plan to preserve the brewery’s signature styles while introducing
new seasonal releases, events, and partnerships that highlight local outdoor activities
and groups.
“Ledge Brewing Company has always been a gathering place for friends, families, and
craft beer lovers,” said Burkett. “My goal is to honor that tradition while bringing fresh
energy and new ideas that make the brewery an even stronger part of our local
community. We’re committed to maintaining what people already love about Ledge, and
building on it.”
The brewery’s current staff will remain in place, including head brewer Jake LeFeuvre,
who joined the team this past spring, ensuring continuity in brewing operations and
customer experience. Plans for the coming year include upgrades to the taproom,
expanded outdoor seating, new community events, expansion of private event offerings,
and collaborations with local organizations.
Locals are already celebrating Ledge’s next chapter. Margaret Graciano, co-owner of
Old Village Bakery in North Conway, recently hosted their staff holiday party at the
brewery. “We were so excited to be the first to host a private event at Ledge after the
sale of the business,” Graciano said. “The event space works really well for gatherings.
We’ve always loved Ledge - the atmosphere, the beer, and especially the staff. As a
business owner myself, it’s exciting to see what’s next for Ledge and to support another
local business stepping into a new chapter.”
Ledge also announced that it will maintain its commitment to sustainable brewing
practices, local sourcing, and engagement with the outdoor enthusiasts in the Mount
Washington Valley. Additional details about special events celebrating the transition will
be released in the coming weeks.
