The next time someone tells you to “meet me at the garage,” you will have a little more room to enjoy that pint. Sunday marked the last day of Ahnapee Brewery pouring its beer at its two-stall garage before it moves to a new location in Algoma. The garage launched the rebirth of Ahnapee Brewery in 2013, 127 years after they closed up shop just up the street where Von Stiehl Winery now stands. Head brewer and owner Nick Calaway has been with Ahnapee since 2013. The brewery has seen tremendous growth since he purchased it in 2017, including constructing a much larger facility for brewing in Suamico. While he is nostalgic about leaving the two-stall garage, Calaway says it is a sign of the support he has received from local restaurants and beer lovers alike.

With some final details still to be completed, Calaway hopes the new taproom will be opened in the middle of May.
