USA, NC: New Belgium Brewing to install brewhouse vessels in January

New Belgium Brewing’s Brewhouse vessels will start rolling into their new home on Craven Street in Asheville, NC, the second week in January, brewbound.com reported on December, 9.

New Belgium’s 200 hectoliter Brewhouse system departed from GEA Brewery Systems (GEA) in Kitzingen, Germany in mid-November to arrive to the NC State Ports Authority in Wilmington, NC by mid-December. Once the vessels arrive on the site, they will be set into their new home over a period of weeks.

“The on time arrival and delivery of our vessels is testament to having strong, competent brewing, construction and community partners,” said Jay Richardson, New Belgium Asheville General Manager. “We are incredibly grateful to be surrounded by a team that is making extraordinary efforts throughout this process. We will be thoughtful and intentional about the delivery of our vessels and appreciate the patience of those along the route.”

“This is a real milestone in the process of building our east coast home and an exciting way to kick off 2015,” said Alex Dwoinen, Brewing Manager. “We’re grateful to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the NC State Ports Authority, and the districts along the route for their help in the vessel transportation.”

New Belgium will be brewing beer in Asheville by the end of 2015.
