Ill Mannered Brewing Company is nearly tripling its capacity with the addition of new fermenters slated to arrive this week.
“We’re excited to add the capacity,” said Tom Ayers, Chief Mad Man of Ill Mannered. “We’ve been stretched a little thin since we’ve opened and the taproom just keeps getting busier.”
The added capacity will give the brewery the ability to expand variety offered in the taproom, add taproom hours, and sell more Ill Mannered beer to more outside accounts.
“We’ve only been able to handle a small number [of accounts], even turning away requests,” said Brian Mathias, Head Sud Slinger. “Now we should be able to support better growth.”
Ill Mannered is also working to add a small bottling operation, barrel aged beers, cask offerings and the introduction of nitro beers to the taproom. These changes will roll out throughout the rest of the year.
The brewery’s new taproom hours are Wednesday-Thursday from 4-10pm; Friday-Saturday from 3-10pm; and Sunday from 12-6pm. Ill Mannered is located at 30 Grace Drive in Powell.
