“So this is our Flume Double IPA,” Shane Noble begins, “you can take the bigger glass.”

We’re off to a good start at Battery Steele Brewing Company, the newest addition to the One Industrial Way complex, alongside Austin Street and Foundation. The brewery is named for the titular WWII-era gun battery fortification out on Peaks Island. The fort is a spooky, powerful place, you can get lost in the tunnels and find pitch-black darkness at noon.  “It’s a pretty weird spot that I’ve always gone back to,” Noble explains.
