USA, CA: Enegren Brewing Company to expand facilities in Moorpark

Enegren Brewing Company began in 2011 as a three-barrel (93 gallon) brewery with two fermentors in a 1,200-squarefoot warehouse in Moorpark. Since opening, the company has tripled fermentation capacity and doubled the warehouse square footage. The company outgrew the brewery and began plans for an expansion, Moorpark Acorn reported on March 20.

On Feb. 25, Enegren Brewing received approval from the City of Moorpark to begin building a 15-barrel brewery. This expansion increases company brewing capacity by 500 percent with the ability to expand over the next five years.

The company expects the brewery expansion to be operational in 9 to 12 months.

The new brewery will have a larger tasting room with increased seating capacity and standing room. The larger tasting room also enables the company to hold more food and beer pairing events for customers.

The tasting room will continue to serve taster flights, glasses of beer, and 1-liter and 2-liter growlers (refillable take-home bottles).

To commemorate this expansion, Enegren Brewing is releasing a special bourbonbarrel aged Belgian Strong Ale named Batch 100. The brew is the 100th batch brewed at the brewery. Aged for five months in Belle Meade Bourbon Barrels, the beer is complex with bourbon, vanilla and oak flavors from the barrel. The classic Belgian yeast strain used adds plum, raisin and fruitiness to round out the beer.

The beer is available for purchase as well as tasters, glasses and special 750ml bottles.
