E-Malt.com News article: USA, MI: Liberty Street Brewing Co. to open in Livonia, Michigan

Liberty Street Brewing Co. is opening a new production facility in Livonia, Michigan, this year, Hometownlife.com reported on May 28.

Brewmaster Joe Walters said customers have a wider selection of beers to choose from.

"What that allows us to do is not brew them in Plymouth anymore," said Walters, a Livonia resident. "So if you go into Plymouth right now and want specialty beer, we've got five or six specialty brews.

"We used to be limited to one batch a month of the specialty brews. Now, we can brew two or three batches in a row."

With the new facility, Walters said the brewery expects to increase the number of barrels made from 400 to (1,200-1,600) in just a year.

Liberty Street Brewing is the first Michigan craft brewer to have a presence in Livonia, something that received city council’s approval late last year. It exists solely as a production facility and will not sell bottles or glasses in Livonia.
