Nassau County's newest brewery, Somerset Brewing Company, opened its taproom in West Hempstead at the end of June. The new brewery, which is already drawing lively crowds, represents the third chapter in the interesting career story of its co-owner and brewer, Dr. Manny Fajardo, who grew up on Somerset Avenue in nearby Garden City. After graduating from college and spending five years in the construction business in Miami, Fajardo followed his parents (father a doctor, mother a nurse) into the healthcare field.
