USA, CA: Track 7 Brewing Co. to increase production capacity and release anniversary beers

Renovations are underway at Track 7 to double the size of the brewery, which will include a second tasting bar, more bathrooms and increased beer production capacity, The Sacramento bee reported on December, 20.

Not bad for a homegrown brewery that'll celebrate just its first anniversary on December, 31.

Ryan Graham, co-owner of Track 7, said many of the renovations will be complete by their anniversary but may stretch into the early part of 2013.

When it’s all said and done, Track 7 will grow from 2,150 square feet to about 4,400 square feet. With more fermenting tanks coming online at the brewery, that's projected to double Track 7's brewing capacity. About 500 barrels (or 15,500 gallons) of beer were brewed by Track 7 in 2012.

Track 7 also plans to release three anniversary beers: a Belgian dubble that's been aged in port casks, a stout blended with coffee and a double IPA.

"Our goal is to have six to seven beers at all times," said Graham. "It's been a good year, and now we'll be able to produce a lot more beer."
