Oskar Blues announced it is building a restaurant, music venue and brewery in Brevard, N.C.
The new facility will add another 100,000 barrels of capacity for Oskar Blues’ in a 30,000-square-foot brewery space.
The new production brewery will service the East Coast markets, where 35% of their sales currently exist.
Last year Oskar Blues produced about 60,000 bbls in the Colorado, and they have the capacity to do up to 90,000.
In a recent presentation by representitives of a large Norther California brewery, I learned that they spend $10 Million per year in transportation costs to move their beers to the east. Thus the reason for their expansion in N.C.
