ALTON - The RiverBend Growth Association, the chamber of commerce and economic development organization for the Riverbend, hosted a ribbon-cutting for The Old Bakery Beer Company’s five-year anniversary. On January 21st, 2015 The Old Bakery Beer Company first opened its doors to sell its delicious beer, and five years later the brewery has expanded its product line and its distribution territory.
Five years ago, The Old Bakery Beer Company opened in the beautiful old Colonial Bakery building. James Rogalsky and Lauren Pattan have helped to fill a void in downtown Alton by opening a microbrewery. The husband and wife team have used the success of their business to assist charitable organizations in the Riverbend. This type of synergy has helped to create a new positive mindset in downtown Alton.
