USA, WI: Titletown Brewing Company expansion to start soon

With financial approval obtained on November 12 from the city's redevelopment authority, a Green Bay hot spot is a step closer to increasing its footmark in the city's downtown, according to Fox News.

Titletown Brewing Company is set to start expanding in the next few weeks.

The city council is expected to give one final approval next week.

The old Larsen Canning buildings, eyesores for years in the Broadway District, are ready to be taken over by its neighbors.

“I think we're experiencing the craft brewing kind of growing strong and the need for our products throughout the state,” said Brent Weycker, the owner of Titletown Brewing.

Titletown Brewing is going to move its brewing operations to the old canning buildings by mid-May. The plan is to double beer production, eventually add banquet space and potentially a rooftop beer garden.

There is now extra incentive. The State Senate passed a bill, doubling the state's historic tax credit to 20% for redeveloping old buildings. Governor Walker is looking at signing the bill in Green Bay.
