E-Malt.com News article: USA, OH: Four String looking for new site for production brewery

Four String Brewing Co. is scouting the community for a new production facility, ohio.com reported on September, 16.

Owner Dan Cochran said he hopes to be renovating a new building by the beginning of next year and making beer there sometime next year. Four String also wants to upgrade from its current 10-barrel brewing system to a 30-barrel brewhouse because of demand for its brands, which include Brass Knuckle American Pale Ale and Big Star White IPA.

“We can’t short ourselves in this next step or we’ll be talking about [upgrading] again in three years,” Cochran said.

Four String Brewing Co. opened last year.

Cochran is looking at 20,000- to 30,000-square-foot buildings throughout Columbus.

He added that there are no plans to abandon the current taproom. He envisions enlarging that space and having a pilot system there in the future.

“That’s going to stay as the hub for the public,” he said.
