A summary of major regional craft brewery expansion projects
For those who want to re-visit my day-by-day coverage of the many expansion projects planned or ongoing in one summary, The Wall Street Journal does a nice job.
Ken Grossman, Sierra Nevada’s founder and owner, hopes to settle on an East Coast brewing site this winter and break ground next summer. North Carolina and Virginia are two possible landing spots, with initial plans to add 300,000 barrels of annual capacity and bank financing in place. Capacity "will be a little tight" before the second plant is completed, says Mr. Grossman, whose Chico brewery produced about 850,000 barrels this year, up 8% from 2010, and is quickly nearing its one-million-barrel ceiling.
