Maryland’s Flying Dog Brewery has received final approval to build a $54 million, 150,000 sq. ft. production brewery on 32 acres in Frederick, MD, Brewbound.com reported.

The Frederick Board of Aldermen signed off on a $2.55 million deal for the land at a December 15 meeting, according to the Frederick News Post.

“The city has been nothing but supportive throughout the process, and we’re excited to purchase land within the city and hopefully build a destination brewery within the confines of Frederick city,” Flying Dog chief marketing officer Ben Savage told the News Post. “We’re excited to get started. It’s kind of like a race to the starting line, but we’re excited for the next few years and what we’re going to create over there.”

The sale is reportedly expected to close before the end of the year or in early January. Once the new facility is online — possibly in 2020 — Flying Dog will be capable of producing as much as 800,000 barrels annually. Flying Dog produced 99,330 barrels in 2015, according to Brewers Association records.
