“Mothfire’s vision is all about sparking a cultural bonfire to gather the community around art, music, and beer. This new space provides us creative freedom to fully extend our wings and share our beer more widely both locally and across the state of Michigan. We couldn’t be more excited for this metamorphosis.” said Noah Kaplan, who also owns Leon Speakers, which is adjacent to the new brewery location.

Mothfire Brewing Co. staff stated they have a strong focus on creativity, local ingredients and quality. Its main brews are pilsners, stouts and fruited sours, which are made with locally sourced ingredients for base malts and hops.

The new location will have sixteen taps, including craft hard seltzers and local kombucha.

The taproom is slated to open in June and will be open six days a week.
