Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales
is happy to announce an expansion into downtown Ann Arbor.
The Dexter-based microbrew plans to take over the old Peppers bar space at 311 S Main St. The idea is to open a eatery side to the business, complementing its traditional beer production facilities in Dexter.
"It's an additional unit we're adding," says Ron Jefferies, owner, founder and brewer of
Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales
. "It's a restaurant with a small brewery but most of the beer is coming from Dexter."
The locally famous microbrew's Dexter operations are for production only. Most craft breweries combine both a restaurant and production brewery. Jefferies plans to add a tap room to the Dexter facility later this year to accommodate tourists who want see where most of the beer is brewed.
The Ann Arbor location is set to open in mid September. Jeffries choose downtown Ann Arbor for its vibrancy and how it has become the area's primary dinning destination.
"It's really about location and downtown Ann Arbor is a great location for a restaurant," Jeffries says.
