Black And Blue Brews has been making beer for three years. We don’t just make typical beers, we try to push the limits of established beer styles while still making palate pleasers. We went to the last Worthy, and we’re back again to show you our love for the craft!
Black and Blue Brews is just a couple of beer loving guys trying to make some great beer!
The perfect balance of taste and aroma. An obsession with ingredients. An exploration of techniques. And while we savor the result, we’re just as fascinated by the process to get there. What started as a small group of homebrewers, who simply wanted to make a better beer, evolved into the adventurers known today as Ballast Point.
We live to add our own touch and ask if there’s a better way. As we tinkered, tested and tasted, we discovered that making beer was more art than science. And while we respect and honor tradition, we relish the opportunity to take it further. That freedom has allowed us to reinterpret brewing. And along the way help to reinvigorate the industry. From bringing a hoppy twist to a porter, or developing a proprietary yeast for our amber ale, to creating a breakthrough gold medal-winning IPA.
Artifact Cider Project is a micro-cidery started by two best friends – Jake, a farmer, and Soham, a scientist – and brought to life by tremendous help from our community. Years ago, we discovered what cider could be: dry, complex, and refreshing. Since then, we’ve explored far and wide, running numerous experiments, reading entire libraries, and diving hands first into local agriculture.
We call Springfield, Massachusetts home, in a small, humble facility we gutted and rebuilt nail by nail at Gasoline Alley in the winter of 2013. We were ecstatic to launch our first cider in June of 2014 and inspired by the support we have received since.
This is just the beginning of our adventure. There are miles left to dig, countless artifacts to discover, and we couldn’t be more excited about what is to come next.
Welcome to the Project. Artifact is yours, as much as it is ours.

Bill “Lefty” Goldfarb earned his nickname during his time as a commercial roofer. He wasn’t the only Bill on the roof, so the two guys were nicknamed by their dominant hands. Even though Lefty is no longer on roofs, his nickname lives on!
Melissa, Bill’s partner in life as well as business, is conveniently also a Lefty. Melissa’s focus is on all of the marketing and sales. Together they make a great team, bringing strengths to every aspect of the brewery.
After years of practice as a home brewer, Bill’s passion grew into a profession. With determination, creativity, and a lot of fun along the way, Bill and Melissa opened the doors to Lefty’s Brewing Company in 2010 and have never looked back!
Over the past several years Lefty’s has grown from two people who sold six types of beer, into a small dedicated team that has brewed over thirty five beer flavors. Each team member brings a different set of strengths and skills to the company, along with the excitement and passion for craft beer. We hope you get a chance to come visit our brewery, which we call a second home.
