Brooklyn Brewery Corp. has purchased a warehouse at 50 Campion Road, just on the Utica side of the border with New Hartford.
The Brooklyn-based company has been contracting with Utica’s F.X. Matt Brewing Co. since 1988 for brewing services.
“That warehouse will serve as our main shipping hub and all our production that does not stay in Brooklyn will be shipped first to Utica,” said Eric Ottaway, Brooklyn Brewery co-owner and chief operating officer.
More than half the company’s beer is brewed in Utica, he said. Until now, the beer has been shipped out of a warehouse in New Jersey, he said.
Brooklyn Brewery has a Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreement on the warehouse that will save the company an estimated $176,268 over the next 10 years, said Mary Rizzo-Bonney of the county Industrial Development Agency.
