The beer manager at Cash Saver’s popular beer aisle already knows where he will display the Grind City brews: Between the Memphis Made Brewing beer cans and Nashville’s Jackalope Brewing beer. local shelves this coming week “I’ll probably end up pushing some Nashville stuff over because I like to keep the Memphis stuff together,” said Josh Scott, who already counts seven Memphis craft beers on Cash Saver’s shelves. The redevelopment of the old northwest Mem- phis plant that made wood seats for auditoriums at 83 Waterworks comprises three parts: • A 9,588-square-foot, gray-blue metal build- ing housing both the brewery and taproom; • A 3,000-square-foot front deck with 120 lin- ear feet of drink railing that overlooks a vast lawn, the Downtown skyline and Hernando de Soto Bridge; and • An adjacent Quonset hut that will become an event space of 6,000 square feet, including its deck. The new brewery already has lived up to its name. The owners and managers have persevered through a grind of challenges that delayed the wholesale brewing and continues to push back the taproom’s opening. The obstacles have ranged from typical con- struction hiccups to the COVID-19 pandemic to the still needed relocation of a power pole. The taproom appears ready for customers. But the fun, sunlit space won’t receive guests until some- time this summer, Seely estimates. The room holds about 20 tables which, like the wood walls, are custom-crafted to reflect the his- tory of the old auditorium-seat manufacturing that took place there.
