DETROIT – Like many other bars and restaurants, everything changed for Batch Brewing Company when the pandemic hit. Batch Brewing Company spent the summer building a large outdoor pavilion to prepare for a potential indoor dining-shutdown. “We take the profit from that all that money, minus food cost, and we’re contributing that from Batch Brewing Company to the Feelgood Tap,” Roginson said. “It’s a surreal sensation to just be sitting and sending people, money, money. People you don’t know, just clicking and sending money,” Roginson said.

DETROIT – Autumn is here and that means -- among other things -- winter is coming. The coming colder temperatures could be tough on local restaurants who have relied on outdoor patio seating to survive the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. “That was the right at the beginning of the recession,” said owner Greg Mudge. Just down Porter Street, at Batch Brewing Company, they’re also adapting by transforming their parking lot into an outdoor biergarten. We’re going to put a couple of tube heaters underneath it and then we’re going to particularly enclose it,” Roginson said.

Detroit is a leader in the craft beer industry, and this Detroit brewery is helping the cause. Batch Brewing Company has been making beer in the city since 2015, and is dedicated to providing great tasting beer in a fun, and welcoming space. Owner Stephen Roginson used to brew beer in his home for years before he won a Hatch Detroit grant and opened Batch Brewing Company. Now the brewery offers a variety of beers, ciders, and sours that will be suitable for any beer fans tastes. Watch the video above to learn more about Batch Brewing Company.
