GrassLands Brewing Company Announces Future Location

Tallahassee brewery in-planning will join the newly revitalized Gaines Street District

GrassLands Brewing Company, a Tallahassee, FL brewery in-planning set to launch in Summer 2014, made its future site location public last week. GrassLands will call 603 West Gaines Street its home. As the first tenant in the building, GrassLands will initially operate in 5,000 sq/ft of space with room to expand as brewing capacity grows.

GrassLands Brewing Company is working with Architects Lewis & Whitlock to design the production floor and onsite taproom. Expected to launch with a 15-barrel production system and a 2-barrel pilot system, GrassLands will offer patrons a diverse selection of GrassLands beer for purchase at the taproom. The taproom itself will be complemented by a large, outdoor communal area with available seating and lounging space.

The brewery and taproom build-out will be part of an overall building makeover – transforming the existing warehouse space into the “Garages on Gaines” – meshing with the unique look and feel of the revitalized Gaines Street district. Construction is expected to begin next month.

GrassLands Brewing Company is a production brewery in planning, slated to launch in Summer 2014 and begin brewing by Fall 2014. Producing beer in a facility with an on- site taproom, GrassLands’ mission is to provide Tallahassee and Florida with outstanding, unique and innovative craft beers made with 100% natural malts, hops and adjuncts, sourcing local ingredients and recycled materials whenever and however possible in all facets of the brewery. GrassLands is committed to the local community, and animal welfare. The company slogan: “Earth First Ales” represents its commitment to the conservation and sustainability of declining animal habitats.

Proof Brewing to tap Barrel Aged Warpath Imperial IPA

A few weeks ago Proof Brewing Company announced that they had made an Imperial IPA in celebration of the FSU Seminoles’ BCS National Championship. This bruising, take-no-prisoners imperial IPA is so strong and demand is so high that Proof had to presell pours and impose a limit to ensure that all fans got to try it.

This week, Proof is announcing the tapping of the Barrel Aged version of Warpath. This Friday, March 7th, Proof will tap a limited amount of this beer at 5pm.

Proof Brewing is located at 1717 West Tennessee Street in Tallahassee.

Grasslands Brewing and Fermentation Lounge collaborate

Tallahassee- Grasslands Brewing Company, a brewery in planning in Tallahassee, and Fermentation Lounge, Tallahassee’s first, albeit very small, brewery are collaborating on a rye saison.

The beer itself is a rye saison, with 20 gallons being made on the brewing system at Fermentation Lounge. 10 gallons was given to Grasslands for a special treatment, to be announced at a later date.

Release date is Wednesday November 13, when the bar opens at 5pm.

About Fermentation Lounge:

Fermentation Lounge, or “The Ferm” as it’s known to locals, is Tallahassee’s first craft brewery. They make beers in very small batches, then the beer goes on draft at the bar on All Saints Street, and is usually gone within a matter of days, sometimes hours. The Ferm prides itself on making beers from fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Brewer Robert Clark prefers to make beers that patrons will have an emotional reaction to.

The mission of GrassLands Brewing Company is to provide this great country (and ultimately the world) with uniquely crafted beers made with 100% natural malts, hops and adjuncts. GrassLands ales will use organic ingredients and recycled materials whenever and however possible in all facets of the brewery.

GrassLands Brewery is also committed to the environment and animal welfare. It will utilize environment-friendly and sustainability/conservation-focused business & operation practices where-ever and however possible.

To facilitate awareness of these issues, GrassLands will host regular events and will make annual donations to be reinvested into nonprofits that embody the GrassLands Brewing Company mission.
