Completed: 07/01/2006 Budget: $1,900,000
With CSM Group acting as construction manager for this project, the constant-temperature cooler, which was completed in fall of 2005, is a pre-engineered metal structure with 4-inch thick wall panels and 6-inch thick roof panels. The panels are specially insulated with a polyurethane foam core sandwiched between 24-gauge steel.
This project also involved converting a portion of the existing cooler area into a new maintenance room, maintenance office, and dry storage. Plans also included the relocation of two shipping/receiving docks, and the construction of two new ones. A new small keg filler area was added and extra space for the maintenance shop was created as well.
In fall of 2005, Bell's Brewery broke ground on a 5500-square-foot fermentation area that will house the company's 12 new 400-barrel beer fermenters which, when complete, will double their production capacity to almost 120,000 barrels of beer annually.
