Popular beer shop opening Portland location

Craft Beer Cellar, a popular brand of retail stores that extend from New England to Florida, will open a site at 111 Commercial St. in Portland.

Eater Maine reported that the craft beer retail store is expected to open by mid-August after owners Jorgen Persson and Pietro Di Luzio signed a lease to take over the former Port Bean Cafe space.

The news blog noted that Craft Beer Cellar started in 2010 in Belmont, Mass., and has since expanded with franchise locations throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, Missouri and Florida. The company’s ambitions to grow the business nationwide was featured in a December 2013 Boston Globe feature.
