Wiley Roots Announces Expansion

Written by admin on July 26, 2018

On June 1, 2018, Wiley Roots Brewing Company signed the lease for an additional 4,600 square feet of adjacent industrial space.

Since then, Kyle, Miranda, Kevin, Sharon, and the rest of the Wiley Roots crew have been busy working on various demolition, construction, and clean up tasks for the new space. Once the new space is fully constructed, we plan to relocate the brewhouse, production area, and expand the taproom. Specifically, the current 800 square foot production area houses our 7 BBL brewhouse, two 15 BBL fermenters, two 7 BBL fermenters, and one 15 BBL brite tank, including all production related tasks, from brewing, to transferring, to keg cleaning, to keg filling, and canning, all in the same area. With this move, we will expand with an additional two 15 BBL fermenters and two 7 BBL brite tanks, and will have dedicated areas in the new production facility for all production functions.

So much more room for activities!

This is the largest expansion we have had since early 2016, when we took over an additional 5,000 square feet. This began our award winning mixed-culture program of sour and wild ales, which has now grown to include eight 15 BBL solera tanks, two 11 HL oak foeders, and approximately 160 specialty oak barrels. We began this program while still maintaining production of their portfolio of IPAs, stouts, porters, and wheat beers, including a small number of barrel aged stouts, barleywines, and wheat-wines.

The goal for this expansion is to provide the space and production capacity needed to grow our highly sought after barrel aged stout, barleywine, and wheat-wine program, including more spirit and oak focused barrel aged beers.

Thank you for supporting us for the last five years and cheers to another five!
