November 12, 2014 -  In an effort to stay a step ahead of rising demand resulting from higher sales and several recent additions to its U.S. distribution territory, Boulevard Brewing Company today announced that it will soon break ground on a $12 million expansion of its Kansas City brewery. The project, dubbed “Cellar Five,” will consist of a 3,600 square foot single-story fermentation structure supporting six 1,000 barrel fermenters, alongside an 8,400 square foot, two-story utility and process building. When complete, it will increase the brewery’s fermentation capacity by 40 percent to well over 300,000 barrels.

“We’ve been planning Cellar Five for the better part of two years,” says Mike Utz, director of engineering. “It’s an exciting and challenging project, as it will house our largest fermentation tanks to date. The new structures will complement the appearance of the adjacent Cellar Three, with design elements drawn from our Brewhouse Two building.”
