Flying Fish Expansion Update

Posted on Feb 07, 2012 | Tags: new brewery

Flying Fish Expansion Update

The brewhouse is in, the new kegging line is in, lots--and lots--of packaging automation is delivering.  We're now in the process of putting it all together and at the same time fixing the infrastructure.  We're not going to even attempt a guess at full operation, but we're saying April-June.

The big push is to make the whole facility as green as possible.  To that end we're installing a solar farm on the roof--which we've added significant insulation to.  We're also putting in passive solar lighting so that on sunny days we'll hardly need to turn the lights on in the brewery.  We'll also be installing energy efficient light fixtures throughout.  We'll be putting in a small rain garden with native plants to capture some of the roof storm water with future plans to capture all the water and keep it on the premises rather than rushing into the creek out back and putting more silt and contaminants into the Cooper River which then dumps them into the Delaware River, which then dumps into Delaware Bay and into the ocean.

There's lots more to come so stay tuned.

    Not sure of the question. Do you mean with the solar? Cheers
