USA, NC: Fayetteville Beer Works hoping to be up and running sometime in late spring or early summer
A new brewery will soon set up shop at 2649 E. Mission Blvd. in Fayetteville, the Fayetteville Flyer reported on January 17.
The new brewery will be called Fayetteville Beer Works, and is operated by Brian OConnell, a local entrepreneur and founder of Colorado-based Renegade Brewing Co.
OConnell founded Renegade in 2011 in Denver, and operated the brewery for a number of years before selling an undisclosed but significant stake in the company in 2017 to Anne Mulcahy, the former CEO and chair of the Xerox Corporation. OConnell stayed on as CEO for a few more years before moving back to Fayetteville a few years ago.
The idea behind Fayetteville Beer Works, OConnell said, is to create a fun, family-friendly place to hang out in east Fayetteville.
We live on the east side of town, and love it over here, OConnell said. Wed like to see more places on this side of town where we can hang out.
OConnell said hell rely heavily on feedback from the neighborhood to determine what beers resonate locally, he said, and though his previous brewery Renegade known for its signature Redacted Rye IPA quickly became a production house brewing about 20,000 barrels a year and distributing to five states, his hope is to keep things smaller and more flexible this time around.
We dont plan to package beer, so we wont have to make the same thing over and over, he said. Im a very seasonal beer drinker, so I love something dark in the winter, and something lighter in the summer. Our plan is to have a variety of styles to suit anyones palate. Well take customer feedback pretty seriously, and whatever folks are most interested in, were happy to make.
OConnell says he will be involved in some of the creative side of the brewing process, but plans to hire a brewer to help with day-to-day brewing operations.
The brewery will have some snacks, and he hopes to find a food truck partner or two to feed hungry patrons.
Fayetteville Beer Works will occupy the west side of the new building, which is currently a blank slate as a recently constructed structure that hasnt yet been built out.
OConnell said he hopes that will allow things to progress more quickly, with no need for demo work at the site.
We can just go in and build things out as needed, he said.
If all goes well, OConnell said he hopes to be up and running sometime in late spring or early summer.
