E-Malt.com News article: USA, AZ & CO: Fate Brewing Company opens second brewhouse in Scottsdale
Brewery news

Fate Brewing Company opened a second location of the popular brewhouse over the August 22-23 period, this time in South Scottsdale. The original brewery opened two and a half years ago in North Scottsdale, Phoenix New Times reported on August 24.

The new location stems from what founder Steve McFate refers to as “a great problem to have” — a need to keep up with demand. The new location will have the ability to produce 3,500 to 4,000 barrels of craft brews annually, as compared to the 511 produced at the North Scottsdale location last year. Fate South, as McFate's dubbed the new brewery, comes in at 11,000-square-feet, which includes an 800-square-foot barrel room designed for making those increasingly popular barrel-aged beers. In taking full advantage of the new space, Fate South will house 14 on-site tanks, or three and a half times more than the brewery has been using.

The increase in space and equipment will also give the brewery the ability to have six to eight core brews on tap at all times, including local favorites such as the American Pale Ale, Double Oatmeal IPA, Hatch Chili Cream Ale, McFate Irish Red, and a Milk Stout series.

With help from Adam Schmeichel, Fate Brewing's brewer, the brewery's tapped 170 varieties in the two and a half years; that’s a new rotation almost each week, something McFate says is a signature of Fate Brewing and something he wants craft brew fans to come to expect from his brew pub.

“If you come to visit my pub every other week, there’s going to be something new, something experimental, maybe seasonal-related — may just be that fun, playful beer," McFate says. "That’s where I want to make our mark, in the variety and rotation, while still maintaining our core brews that people can count on each time they come in.”
