White Lion Brewing Company started as an idea in 2011 when founder, Raymond L. Berry, thought of craft beer as an opportunity to establish a local product for the city of Springfield, MA. The operation officially began in 2012, quickly evolving to become a “catalyst for Springfield’s revitalization.” Almost 10 years later, the company is going strong and the passion for the brand is palpable amongst local beer lovers.
