FENTON WINERY & BREWERY FULL BUILD-OUT HITS SNAG
Fenton, Mich.—
The owners of Fenton Winery and Brewery (FWB) were informed last week that due to new state building codes, the front building of their property that formerly housed the Creative Wood Products showroom and offices could not be used for banquets or other large gatherings without the installation of a $45,000 sprinkler system. Since the property is outside city water line limits, the system must include a pump station
They have received local and state approval to officially open their retail store, Tap Room and Beer Garden in the warehouse and the green space alongside the future banquet hall. They are re-applying with a full sprinkler system for usage permits for the banquet hall. The best way to show your support for the efforts is to visit their retail store now and their new taproom & gardens once they open this month. More information about the build out schedule and the new “#sprinkleFWB” campaign can be found on their facebook page, twitter, and blog .
Plans are still moving forward to open the Beer Garden in the scenic park-like area next to the front building. Guests will be able to have a FWB brew or wine in the new Tap Room located inside the warehouse next to the brewery, and to either enjoy their beverage inside or stroll across to the Beer Garden.
An Open House is scheduled for Thursday, July 31, 2014.
Current hours at the retail store (carry-out for wine & growler fills IS available during these hours):
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 3pm-7pm
Friday & Saturday: noon-7
Sunday: noon -4
