USA, CA: Lengthwise Brewing to move to a new location in Bakersfield in spring

Jeff Williams, co-owner of Bakersfield’s only currently operating brewery, confirmed on July 17 that the company has signed a lease on a new location for Lengthwise Brewing’s operations, The Bakersfield Californian reported on July 17.

Lengthwise Brewing will move from its 6,000-square-foot brew-pub at 6720 Schirra Ct. in Bakersfield, to a new home less than a mile away at 7700 District Blvd.

Baymarr Constructors will build a new, 15,000-square-foot “concrete tilt up” brewery and restaurant for Lengthwise Brewing on the new location, Williams explained in an email. The new facility is expected to open in April or May of 2016, Williams wrote.

“We are in the planning, design and permit phase now,” Williams wrote. The new space will have air conditioning and “tons of brewery space for expanding our barrel aged beer program and adding a few new tanks.”

Lengthwise Brewing has operated from the Schirra Court location since 2002.

Lengthwise Brewing added two additional restaurant locations in 2011 and 2012 and began bottling its beers in early 2014.

In May, Lengthwise Brewing began distributing bottles and kegs outside Kern County.
