Growing Craft Beer Cellar Empire Will Expand to Fenway

The independently-owned, specialty beer chain Craft Beer Cellar has anotheroston proper location in the works, Boston Restaurant Talk reported. A 1,600-square foot Craft Beer Cellar plans to open at 96 Van Ness St. in the Fenway neighborhood around Labor Day.

Craft Beer Cellar was founded in Belmont in 2010 by Certified Cicerones Suzanne Schalow and Kate Baker. It started franchising in 2013, and there are now locations in six Massachusetts suburbs, plus nine other states around the country. CBC shops are in the works locally in Amesbury, Boston, Framingham, and Roslindale, plus six other states.
