A new owner can continue as a brewery, introduce a new craft beer program, add distilling, expand catering, host weddings and private events, convert production space to additional dining or event use, develop a sports-themed entertainment concept or create an entirely different food, beverage or entertainment business. Its size, infrastructure, historic character and versatile configuration provide numerous opportunities to adapt the space, pursue additional revenue streams and respond to changing market demand.
