Sweetwater Brewing Expands Brewery

Posted in Beer News | 0 comments

I just received an email from Sweetwater Brewing, known for their 420 Extra Pale Ale, containing information about their current plans for expansion. The information from the email is posted below.

SweetWater broke ground on an 18-month long expansion that will quadruple our current brewing capacity and give us the space we need for a brand new bottling and keg line. Last year we brewed more than 77,000 barrels and this year we are on pace to eclipse 90,000 barrels.

The expansion will mean more upgrades to all of our packaging equipment, so that the tasty brews you know and love will only get better. The expansion, which will take the brewery from 26,000 square feet to 110,000 square feet began last Friday with the demolition. The plans also include a brand new lab space, and a separate event space above the packaging hall. Check in with the camera on the roof, from time to time on how the work is coming along.

Lots more details to come on the bells and whistles that will come with the new toys!
