  • (1888PressRelease) July 29, 2015 - Minneapolis, MN, USA - The location was home to the Glenwood Inglewood Water Company and the Fruen Mill throughout the late 19th and much of the 20th century, but has sat vacant for many years. The upstart craft brewery is part of a redevelopment plan to turn this historic location into a contemporary new business campus that will also feature trendy restaurant and modern office spaces.

    Bryn Mawr Brewing Co. is the development's third tenant and will be located in a 18,000 square foot warehouse on the southeast end of the business campus. The brewery has hired Minneapolis based LSE Architects to lead the design of it's new residence. Along with a full production brewery, the location is slated to feature a European themed tap room and an outdoor beer garden on the banks of neighboring Bassett Creek.

    The building that Bryn Mawr Brewing Co. will be housed in was originally built in the 1990s and was the bottling plant for the Glenwood Inglewood Water Company. For over 50 years, the company bottled water from the site's natural springs and distributed it across the Midwest before being sold to the Colorado based Deep Rock Water Company in 1990. These same spring waters will be available to the brewery for use in its beer production.

    At Glenwood LLC purchased the 63,000 square foot site in March of 2014 and is leading the redevelopment of the site. The entity is related to PUSH Interactive, a digital advertising company that currently anchors the site.

    "Our partners and our company are looking to turn this into a fun and exciting place to work, play, eat, and potentially even live" said Haig Newton of PUSH Interactive. "This is a unique and historic spot in Minneapolis and we're revitalizing it to its original vibrancy by inviting exciting businesses and creative people to join us."

    Construction on Bryn Mawr Brewing Co.'s brewery will begin later this summer with the expectation of opening to the public in late 2015 or early 2016. Development of the site will continue over the next two years with plans for a 3 to 4-story modern office complex, public walkways and natural space along Bassett Creek, and a rooftop event space.

    "This is such an exciting time to be a part of this community," said Jim Moore of Bryn Mawr Brewing Co. "The support we've received from the Bryn Mawr and Harrison neighborhoods and the city of Minneapolis has been tremendous! This redevelopment project will have an incredible impact on and reenergize this historic part of town and Bryn Mawr Brewing Co. is thrilled to be a part of it."
