The project—which will include an extension to the brewer’s existing facility, upgraded equipment and new energy and water recovery systems—will be completed by 2017. According to Firestone Walker co-founder David Walker, the expansion comes as the brewery faces higher-than-expected demand, with Firestone’s home market of California currently accounting for around 80% of consumption.
