Simple Days Beer is ready to hold the grand opening of its new location in East Greenville. Located at 231 Main Street, it’s just across the street from the original taproom.
The brewery will officially open the doors to the new taproom on Saturday, August 5th, from 12-9 PM. They will open with 7 beers, 1 cider, and a lobster food truck for beer fans.
We recently spoke with owner and head brewer Chris Hink to understand more about the new location and what beer fans can expect.
BIPA: Can you describe the new space you are moving into?
Chris: We are moving across the street from our previous 600 sq/ft location into a 1,200 sq/ft building that will be our taproom. We also will have a separate 1,800 sq/ft offsite warehouse, that will house all the brewing operations and allow us to manufacture more beer.
The building has supported a number of businesses, and most recently it was a thrift store. We will have 8 for opening, possibly expanding to 12 within some time. We also won’t have food to start and will continue utilizing food trucks as we have done in the past. Lastly, we will have a small front patio to offer some outdoor seating in addition to indoor seating.
BIPA: What is in the plans for this year and next?
Chris: We want to increase production. Currently, we have a 3.5 BBL system, and we will be double batching into bigger tanks in the near future. Our plans are to add more tanks, foeders for some sours, and a small canning line most likely this year.
BIPA: What stage are you currently in with the new space?
Chris: The taproom is still in the buildout stage. The bar is being built soon, and then there are some small cosmetic changes we want to make to the space. Our warehouse location is done, our system is moved, and we will start brewing there soon!
