SingleCut Beersmiths is an American brewery founded in 2012 in Astoria, Queens, New York. [1] The name comes from the luthier term when a guitar is made with only a lower cutaway.[ citation needed ]
SingleCut Beersmiths was founded in 2012 by Rich Buceta, who sold his collection of vintage guitars to finance the brewery. [2] [3] [4] It was the first production brewery in Queens since Prohibition. [5] [6] The brand rapidly expanded and by 2017 the Queens location was brewing at maximum capacity of 11,000 barrels a year. [7] In 2018, SingleCut agreed to purchase a 30,000 barrel facility in Clifton Park, NY facility from Shmaltz Brewing Company for an undisclosed amount. [8] [9] [10]
