USA, MI: Northern Wind Brewing coming to Wyandotte next year
Northern Wind Brewing is coming to Wyandotte next year with a 1,100-square-foot brewhouse and a 92-seat tap room, The Detroit News reported on September 24.
Owner Daniel Shock is shooting for a late winter opening for his brick-and-mortar beer business, located at 3353 Third in Wyandotte. He's working with Birmingham-based architecture and interior design firm DesignTeam Plus for the look, which includes a 37-foot u-shaped bar.
Shock said he's excited to add to the area's growing list of destinations like new restaurants and the music venue District 142.
We know that people downriver are just as passionate about craft beer as anywhere else in Metro Detroit, and my research reflects an underserved downriver market, he said in a press release announcing some of the brewery's details. Northern Wind Brewing intends to make a significant impact on the local craft beer scene downriver.
Once open next year, customers can expect house-made craft beers like New England IPAs, easy-drinking wheat beers, fruit-focused beers and lagers. There will be a food menu, too, likely with approachable fare like sandwiches, salads and pizza.
As for the visuals, DesignTeamPlus is going for "a cross between an industrial warehouse and an old-style British Pub," said owner and designer Shari Stein. Formerly a Dollar Depot, the new North Wind Brewing have brick touches, dark ceilings and a tap wall and tables made of distressed oak.
