Saugatuck Brewery expanding in October

To accommodate a new 40-barrel brewing system and expanded bottling/labeling/packaging equipment, Saugatuck Brewing Company is pleased to announce a brewery expansion project to begin in October of this year.

In spring 2014, the new system will replace the current 10-bbl system. Additional offices and expanded cooler space will also be included in the project planning.

The remodeling will utilize a portion of the existing Singapore Room banquet hall. The remaining area of this space is planned for the versatility of overflow restaurant seating as well as accommodation of small to mid-sized private groups.

More specific information will be made available over the next few months as detailed plans become finalized.

Saugatuck Brewing Company is a microbrewery with a family friendly pub/restaurant, complete with outdoor seating and an upscale banquet room (“The Singapore Room”). Fifteen unique beer styles, all brewed in house, plus wine and hard cider are served daily in the Pub. “SBC” also distributes eleven styles in 6 and 4-packs, plus kegs throughout Michigan and metro Chicago. The brewery features one of the only active brew-on-premise facilities in Michigan, utilizing five copper kettles and an array of natural ingredients and recipes, for the public to become “Brewmaster for a Day.”
