Locals will also get a taste of some new brews in the near future. Hosanna Brewing plans to open a brewery and brewpub in Fuquay-Varina, while Burbs Brewing is working on its new home in downtown Holly Springs.

Simultaneously, a major expansion will put 12,000 square feet onto the main warehouse-style facility, more than doubling the space available for vats, tanks and coolers. Construction on the $500,000 project should start by March, Doble said.

The project, combined with new gear at the brewery, will allow the company to brew 40,000 barrels of beer a year, compared with the current 12,000 barrels, he said.

Carolina Brewing Co. is pushing into new markets too. The company’s beer is now available in 30 North Carolina counties – a three-fold expansion in 2012 alone.
