Cathedral Square Brewery Hopes to Open in Former Church in St Louis

I remember when the Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh launched in a former church, and over the last few years we all followed along as our very own Breaker Brewing worked to open in a former church in Wilkes-Barre, PA.  Now comes word that Cathedral Square Brewery is working to move from their current home (in the former Playboy club), to a former church property in St. Louis.  Details from STLToday:

Cathedral Square Brewery wants to convert a 105-year-old church in St. Louis' Central West End into a brewery, bar, restaurant and event space.

Brewery owners Dr. Gurpreet Padda and Ami Grimes have applied for liquor licenses and, pending their approval, intend to buy the former Holy Corners Second Baptist Church at 500 North Kingshighway Boulevard.

The 40,000-square-foot building is listed for sale at $1.65 million; Cathedral Square's buildout would cost about $3.5 million to $4 million, according to a letter Padda submitted to 28th Ward Alderwoman Lyda Krewson.

Since opening three years ago, Cathedral Square's official home has been 3914 Lindell Boulevard, the old site of the Playboy Club and, more recently, City Grille & Brewhaus. But long-discussed plans to open a brewpub there have yet to materialize, and most Cathedral Square beer is contract-brewed across the state, in Weston.
