Lawinski and his team need to install fermentation tanks at their new location as well as work out some licensing before they can begin production. We're really excited about our new toys and abilities.' 'They will include a lot more sours and a gueze program as well. 'I guarantee there are going to be some brand new styles coming your way,' Lawinski says. For a brewery that has produced more than 100 different styles of beers over the years - including the Great American Beer Festival gold medal-winning Laimas KГ¶lsch Style Ale - more space will mean even more innovation. 'In 2016, we're going to brew somewhere between 4,000 and 8,000 barrels,' says Lawinski. The acquisition of the new space includes the addition of a 35-barrel system and an abundance of room for fermentation and barrel aging.

'We haven't done more than a few barrels in 2015 and have missed it tremendously.' 'One of Jeff's strengths is what he can do with barrels,' Lawinski says.

This enabled the team to increase production on their 10-barrel decoction and three-barrel pilot system from the previous year's 1,500 barrels to about 2,500, but they lost the space needed to barrel age their product. 'In January 2015, we expanded our brewery from the original build out to maximize our space, doubling our fermentation ability,' explains Lawinski. The company recently announced it will be expanding into Avery Brewing Company's old space at 5763 Arapaho Ave., its second expansion within a single year. It wasn't the end of what we could do.'ДЄnd stopping they are not. 'We've been surprised by how fast we've been able to grow and how well we've been received, but we've always known we wouldn't stop at just this. 'When we opened our brewpub doors for the first time, it was the realization of a dream,' Lawinski says.

The popular brewpub - a decade-long goal of owner Mike Lawinski and head brewer Jeff Griffith - has sustained rapid growth since its inception nearly three years ago. Or at least that appears to be true for Boulder's FATE Brewing Company.
