Great news from ConcentrateMedia:
former automotive parts warehouse in Dexter will be undergoing a cleanup and transformation into a new brewery and distillery for Northern United Brewing Company, LLC, doing business as Jolly Pumpkin. A tasting room and retail shop is also included in the plans for the former Martinrea/Pilot building located at 2319 Bishop Circle.
Last week, the Dexter Village Council approved Jolly Pumpkin's application to the state for micro brewer, small winemaker, and small distiller licenses. As the property is zoned industrial, the company is working with the village to obtain the necessary approvals for a tasting room, according to Ron Jeffries, co-founder and co-owner of Jolly Pumpkin.
Jeffries hopes to be up and running in the new location by September or October. The company will move production from its Broad St. site in Dexter, where it has 10,000 square feet of production space. The purchase of the new building will nearly quintuple the production floor, to 48,000 square feet.
The facility is about 85,000 square feet in total. Jeffries says renovations will include new sloped floors with floor drains and trench drains, plumbing, CO² drops to production areas for bottling, modification of existing offices, and the installation of quality assurance and quality control labs.
