USA, NY: Prison City Brewing developing its second brewery in Auburn

Prison City Brewing is developing its second brewery in Auburn, New York, US. The new brewery location will support the growth of the company, while expanding production, the Drinks Insight Network reported on July 8.

The ground-breaking ceremony of the new location was held in October 2019 and brewing operations are expected to start in late July 2020. Estimated to involve an investment of $4.25 mln, the project will create 25 jobs.

Prison City Brewing was assisted by Cayuga Economic Development Agency (CEDA) in submitting Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loan applications through the City of Auburn and Cayuga County. CEDA is also supported by the New York State Consolidated Funding Application and the identification of the new brewery location. The project received ESD / AIDA tax benefits worth $900,000.

The brewery site is located at 251 North Street in Auburn, Cayuga County. Spread across an area of 14,000ft², the brewery will include a production facility, a tasting room and a restaurant.

The new facility will expand Prison City Brewing’s production from 900 barrels to 10,000 barrels a year.
