E-Malt.com News article: USA, IN: Chapman’s Brewing Co. to add a second brewery in Columbia City

Just two months after opening its tap room in downtown Fort Wayne inside Fortezza Coffee, Chapman’s Brewing Co. has announced that it’s expanding again, The Journal Gazette reported on July 27.

The Angola, IN-based brewery will add a second brewery, as well as a taproom, in downtown Columbia City.

Chapman’s will remodel the former Watering Can and CC Deli Building at 118 W Van Buren St., and the building will serve as a research and development facility where new craft beer recipes will be created as well as beers unique to Whitley County, Chapman’s founder Scott Fergusson says.

“Columbia City has a rich brewing history, with the Walter-Raupfer Brewery having the capacity to make over 2 million pints of beer a year,” he says. “Columbia City’s downtown is perfect for Chapman’s; our friends and neighbors can enjoy a pint or growler of the best local beer around.”

Chapman’s Brewing Co. was founded in 2012 and began production in October 2013.
