Saucy Brew Works Secures Independence Site for $2.1 Million Expansion
By Jeremy Nobile, Crain's
Saucy Brew Works has closed on its acquisition of a 3.2-acre parcel in Independence that will be home to the Cleveland-founded craft brewery's latest expansion project.
Located off I-77 on Rockside Boulevard near the I-480 exchange and the Topgolf facility that opened in late 2019, the future Saucy operation there is projected to be about 26,000 square feet and feature a restaurant, taproom, production facility, event space, large outdoor area and even some administrative offices — seemingly setting the site up as the company's potential future headquarters.
Saucy CEO and co-founder Brent Zimmerman said his hope is to break ground this summer. With the build-out taking between 12-18 months, that would put the facility on track for opening somewhere between fall 2022 and spring 2023. The project is on the docket for approval by city officials in February.
