A baseball-themed microbrewery is on tap for a former fire house. Two childhood friends aim by May to open The Mitten Brewing Co. at 527 Leonard St. NW.
Plans for the craft brewery sports bar, what operators claim will be the first of its kind in Michigan, call for on-site brewing to serve a 1,200-square-foot tap room and pizzeria with seating for 65 people. Grand Rapids Planning Commission will consider a permit Thursday.
“Right now with Michigan sports doing well, it’s time for us to get in. We don’t want to wait any longer.”
Food offerings will feature gourmet pizza from executive chef Matt Lenkiewicz, who also is the chef at Grill One Eleven in Rockford. Pizza will be available for dine-in or carry out, and 6-packs of beer also will be sold for carry out.
