News release:
Great Flood Brewing Company in the Highlands
announces new Production Facility coming in 2016
Great Flood Brewing Company, located in the
Upper Highlands, announced today (on their 2-Year Anniversary) that
they are finalizing plans to open a new 13,000 ft2 production brewery
in Shelby Park/Germantown by the end of 2016. The new facility will
increase their brewing capacity 10-fold and will allow for local
distribution of their beers on draft and in cans. The new facility will
also eventually feature a tasting room and event space. Their
brewery and taproom in the Highlands will remain open and will
continue to produce small batches.
New Great Flood Brewing Company Production Facility:
- Brewing System: 15 BBL (465 gallon) brew house with 30 BBL
fermenters. Will produce an estimated 4,000 BBLs annually
(compared to 300 annually at Highlands brewery).
While the Highlands brewery focuses on experimentation, the
Shelby Park/Germantown brewery will facilitate large-scale
production and distribution of proven Great Flood brands.
- Distribution: Primarily focused on distribution in the Greater
Louisville area. Expect to see Great Flood beer on draft at your
favorite local bars and in 12oz cans at off-premise retailers.
Arrangements are in place for statewide and regional distribution
when capacity allows.
- Customer Features: The new facility will feature an event space, a
small tasting room and will eventually offer brewery tours.
- Financing: Traditional bank financing is supporting this expansion.
Great Flood Brewing Company will remain 100% brewer owned.
