Expansion Project Announced

The brewery has been operating at max capacity since the late January launch of Blacksburger Pils, with first quarter sales exceeding projections. The first expansion project, which will add fermentation capacity to the brewery, is expected to reach completion in May. No additional retail accounts can be opened until the project is complete.

The BBC online merchandise store is still under construction, but is nearing completion. A soft e-commerce launch in the coming weeks will release Blacksburger Pils signature glassware for sale, soon followed by tap handles, apparel, and other BBC merchandise.
