Sierra Nevada Aims To Brew First Mills River NC Batch 9/5

From the Citizen Times:

Rain has delayed some of the construction work, but “we have a lot of systems that are operational now,” brewery manager Brian Grossman said. “There are lot of others we have not yet begun, but they are not mission-critical.”

It won’t be long before test brewing begins. The tentative date is Sept. 5, he said. Production brewing should be going by year’s end. It will be another year before Sierra’s restaurant and tasting room will open, Grossman said.

This brewery will be huge, dwarfing all other beer-making plants in Western North Carolina. Sierra will start by making 350,000 barrels a year year, and eventually that will grow to 750,000 barrels.
