The Warren-based brewery Kuhnhenn Brewing Co. is set to open a second location in Clinton Township on Monday, Feb. 29. The Clinton Township location will offer a full food menu in addition to the company's own lines of beer, wine, mead, and distilled spirits.
The company's second home used to be a home and garden center and, at 45,000 square feet, is quite large. Kuhnhenn will take advantage of that space, filling it up with a 280-seat taproom, a full-scale production and distribution space, and a full kitchen. The new facility is located at 36000 Groesbeck Hwy. in a somewhat industrial part of town. Sixty hourly and 4 salary employees have been hired to staff the expansion.
The new brewing facilities will be used for large-scale production and distribution. The original Warren location will focus on small batch brews. The Warren location, at 5919 Chicago Rd., will keep its taproom open, as well.
Kuhnhenn will remain focused on its brews, keeping its new menu on the small side with offerings like small plates, artisan sausage, charcuterie, and cheese boards. The taproom will be open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-12 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-2 a.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
Following the official opening on Monday, Feb. 29, at 11 a.m., a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held Wednesday, March 2, at 4:30 p.m.
