The Avondale Brewing Company is a brewery which plans to open in late 2010 at 201 41st Street South in Avondale. The business is a partnership between real estate agent Coby Lake and contractor and brewer Craig Shaw.
The 4,000 square foot building was built in 1885 and has served as a bank, a fire station, and the Long Branch Saloon, but stood vacant since the late 1980s and needed significant structural repairs, including a rebuilding of the entire front facade which had settled and cracked. For brewing, the company purchased a German-made 17-barrel system capable of producing 10,000 barrels per year at full production.
