USA, MN: Urban Moose Brewing Co. preparing to launch in Sauk Rapids

The latest venture from Flying Pig Pizza Co. owner Roy Dodds is nearing an opening date, SCTimes reported on June 13.

Beer lovers and pizza fanatics can hope to see Urban Moose's doors open as soon as mid to late July.

"We'd like the opening to be as soft as possible, so I can't give a concrete opening date right now," says Dodds. "But the word is out there."

Urban Moose Brewing Co. is a new craft brewery in Sauk Rapids, which will incorporate Flying Pig Pizza with an expanded menu.

"It will be a few weeks before we have a solid date, but [mid to late July] is what we're shooting for," says Dodds.

Urban Moose is in the former American Legion building on Benton Drive. The project broke ground in March, with tanks installed in April and construction continuing through June.

A post on the Urban Moose Facebook page says that the brewery is currently hiring for all positions.
