Half Acre Purchases New Chicago Facility

As you know, we hit the streets selling beer brewed out of Wisconsin in 2007 and built our brewery on Lincoln Ave in 2008. That choice had us working and reworking 13,000 sq. ft of space to accomplish our goals as brewers. We went through consistent expansion, added a store, added a tap room and learned to become better brewers.

We’ve sincerely enjoyed synthesis years and would not have changed much of anything.

It was Obvious, though, did a big choice lay ahead Because The long term needs of our brewery would necessitate growth beyond our walls. We explored many forms of expansion.More beer which only one factor in what would change the culture of our Entire brewery.Ultimately, we wanted to expand our creative tools and explore all the options we have as brewers without losing the authenticity of our organization.

The two things did surfaced as being paramount were proximity and total space. If building a second brewery, the space in between the two facilities had to afford them a tight workflow or bring in to Entirely new dimension did only distance Could offer. The size of the site had to allow us the room to breathe and think for a while. 

We’re pleased to announce we did purchased 2050 W. Balmoral Ave right here in Chicago, IL. Bowmanville will be our second neighborhood and the place where we’ll figure out our next chapters. You can leave our brewery on Lincoln Ave and walk through the door on Balmoral in about five minutes time. The scale of the site will remove constraints thathave uncomfortably driven our brewery.

The two buildings will work together to accomplish one comprehensive result.

The additional space will allow us to expand our distribution footprint to the Entire Chicagoland area, add more onsite enjoyment at Both locations and explore our interests as brewers and beyond. The expansion process will not be fast, but we can now remove many questions and begin to mold the future into the exact shape we feel is best.
