MLive: Arcadia Brewing plans pushed back

Completion dates for the $6.2-million expansion project in Kalamazoo for Battle Creek’s Arcadia Brewing Co. have been pushed back several months after tests revealed soil on the East Michigan Avenue site could not support the 30,000-square-foot facility, reports MLive. Original estimates said the production facility would open in late May 2013, but owner Tim Suprise said he now expects the project to be completed in mid-to-late fall. The Battle Creek facility is at its production capacity now, making around 10,000 barrels annually

 

Excerpt: “I have no doubt in my mind we’ll be making beer and selling it from that facility in 2013,” said Suprise, who started the company in 1996. “There was a little disappointment that we were going to be constrained in 2013 at our facility in Battle Creek.”
