USA, MI: Harmony Brewing expanding in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids newest brewery won support from the Planning Commission on December 12, according to WZZM.

Harmony Brewing, which operates a small microbrewery in Eastown, plans to open a much larger one.

Barry VanDyke of Harmony Brewing said a name and concept for the brewery have yet to be determined, but he hopes to play on the building's history.

"We never anticipated the amount of beer that we actually sell in Harmony," said Vandyke. "It's been such a huge success over the last two years that we literally can't keep up with demand, so we need a second location where we can brew more beer."

He hopes the new brewery will open about a year from now. VanDyke says he's "really excited by the Stockbridge neighborhood."
