E-Malt.com News article: USA, UT: Uinta Brewing Company to expand and install a canning line

In its 20th year of operation, and to accommodate a 67% sales growth in 2012, Uinta Brewing Company announces plans for expansion, Craftbeer.com reported on July, 12.

In April 2012, Uinta installed three new fermentation tanks, increasing its production capacity to 65,000 bbls and allowing Uinta to implement a 24/7 brewing schedule to meet the growing demand.

The expansion does not stop there, however. In addition, Uinta recently acquired the land immediately south of the existing brewery. Uinta has developed plans for a second plant, a 34,000 sq. ft. building, which is slated to break ground in July, 2012. The new facility will house Uinta’s packaging equipment, cold storage, a second lab, employee tasting room, and additional office space. All told, Uinta Brewing Company will operate on a more than 5-acre brewing campus. The project is expected to be completed in early 2013.

With the new facility, Uinta will be installing a canning line, adding a new option to their current packaging line-up.
