Construction of Perrin Brewing Co. is on its way

Construction of the Perrin Brewing Company began in earnest this week, with lumber going up for a building addition and the foundation being poured. The Alpine Township Board of Trustees approved a micro brewer liquor license for Perrin Brewing Company LLC this week, which, if approved, by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, will allow the company to open the  micro brewery next spring.

The brewery is being built at 5910 Comstock Park Drive NE and should be ready for business bt May 2012.  The company intends to open a microbrewery, wholesale beer distributorship, and tasting room.  It would have the capacity to be able to produce 2,500 to 3,500 barrels of beer the first year, according to the owners, and the company has room to expand if the brewery becomes successful. Distribution will initially be limited to Michigan.

The intent is to make the brewery a public facility and public tours will be available.  The owners indicated theyalso hope to hold some outdoor events and participate in community events.

 
One of the owners is Jarred Sper, a West Michigan native and former Marine Sergeant. Another principal is Randy Perrin, owner of Perrin Properties LLC. Contractor for the construction is Randy's brother Dan Perrin.
