Ryan Fagan is co-owner and head brewer of Urban Lodge Brewing Company. Opened in August 2019, ULBC was created to serve as a welcoming, inclusive gathering space for the community, and to provide a unique destination in the flourishing downtown district. ULBC’s taproom on Purnell Place utilizes 7,000 square ft of commercial space that had previously been vacant for nearly two decades.
Ryan grew up in Manchester and currently resides in town with his growing family. He worked many years for the Manchester Parks & Recreation Dept., and actively partakes in, and supports, town-sponsored events, organizations, and recreational sports leagues.
Ryan is optimistic and enthusiastic concerning the revitalization of Manchester. His expertise in hospitality, customer service, and business development are traits that will support the burgeoning growth of Manchester’s charming, historic downtown. Attracting patrons from neighboring towns to support local small businesses and showcase his vibrant and diverse hometown will always be one of his primary focuses.
