USA, WI: Gathering Place Brewing Co. to open a second brewery in Milwaukee

Gathering Place Brewing Co. will open a second brewery and taproom inside the Flour & Feed food hall and marketplace, 2160 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., Milwaukee. The food hall, expected to open in 2021, is being developed by New Land Enterprises, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on October 16.

Joe Yeado, who founded Gathering Place at 811 E. Vienna Ave., said the Flour & Feed location will function as a satellite taproom with a one-barrel brewing system.

“Our pilot brewery and taproom within the Flour & Feed Marketplace is a unique concept among food halls nationwide," Yeado said. "The brewing system will allow us to experiment with new recipes while the taproom provides the chance to share beers made on site and from our Riverwest brewery."

It also lets him promote his own neighborhood as a beer destination. Enlightened, Component Brewing, 1840 and Beer Barons Cooperative all have breweries in the Bay View neighborhood. Another, Super Moon Brewing, is in the works.

“As a Bay View resident, I want the neighborhood to be known as much for its beer as its outstanding restaurants and bars,” said Yeado. “There is excellent beer being made in the neighborhood and we believe our European-inspired, session-able beers will fit in nicely.”
