Granite City Food & Brewery
Nov 22, 2007 beer, restaurants
Granite City Food & Brewery “is a casual dining restaurant with an on-site brewery.”
With “19 stores operating in eight different states” currently, it’s a chain brewpub based out of St. Cloud MN, and St. Louis is getting one to call our very own.
They’ve been building it for a while now, and I guess they’re behind schedule as, according to their website, it was supposed to open in November — it did, however, look about done as I was cruising down Olive yesterday.
What will the beer snobs among you have to say about this?
“Shortly before we opened our third store, we launched our patented brewing process, Fermentus Interruptus™, which makes micro brewing for multiple locations more efficient. This process, conceived and designed by Mr. Burdick, allows us to ship sweet liquid called wort, from our central brewing facility to individual stores. When this liquid reaches the stores, we begin the fermentation process and complete the brewing. We use Fermentus Interruptus at all of our Granite City Food & Brewery® locations.”
And here’s where ours will be exactly:
