E-Malt.com News article: USA, OH: Avon Brewing Co. to break ground on new location in February
Brewery news

After nearly seven years at its current location, Avon Brewing Co., 37040 Detroit Road in Avon, is moving to a new site to accommodate its growing number of customers, the Morning Journal 15.

Avon Brewing Co will break ground in February and hopes to open by August.

The new location, formerly Gerber’s Garden Center at 36383 Detroit Road, not only is larger, but affords the staff at Avon Brewing Co. more opportunities.

Along with a larger facility, the location boasts an outdoor beer garden and a party center for all events.

“We’ve outgrown our current location,” said Mathias Hauck, co-founder of the Avon Brewing Co. “It’s about 5,000 square feet, and we have about 26 parking spots of our own.

“We’re moving to a 15,000-square-foot facility with 200 parking spots. We’ll have a 1,000-square-foot party room.”

The company purchased the land in late 2021 and submitted the paperwork to the city in May.

“That takes months to review and get things through city council,” Hauck said. “Once those design and engineering concepts are in, we can start building.”

Hauck said he and his team have worked to get the brewhouse into the new facility as quickly as possible.

Avon Brewing Co. also has breweries in Medina and Madison.

Part of the company’s motivation with the move is to get all of its brewery services under one roof, Hauck said.

“The goal is to bring all of that back into one central location,” he said. “We’ll be having a 15-barrel brewhouse there in Avon.

“We’ll be able to turn over new beers, can (beer) out of that, do a little bit of distribution that we can’t do now.”

One of the most striking features of the new facility is the large outdoor space that will surround the brewery itself.

The outdoor area will be a large beer garden, Hauck said.
“We’re going to have a 3,000-square-foot patio that is attached the building,” he said. “And then, we’re going to have a 3,000-square-foot beer garden.

“We’ll have fire pits out there, some nice Adirondack seating. A chill place to hang out and gather with friends.”

Hauck said he’s extremely proud of his team’s performance in Pulse Magazine’s Best of Lorain County awards.

As a team, Avon Brewing Co. took home eight awards including Best Casual Dining, and sister company ZZ’s Big Top, won Best Wings and Best Cheap Eats.

“People come to our establishment and eat food from the best chef, and drink our beers, the best beer selection in the county,” Hauck said. “It’s exciting, right?

“It’s a nice little balance of all those things.”

Hauck said his team is excited to be a fixture in the heart of Avon and Lorain County.

“I’m excited to have all our brewing under one roof,” he said. “I’m excited to be able to can and distribute.

“It’s really a good thing for us to plant our roots.”
