Brewing company moves ahead with downtown Greenville project.

• Position: New Realm Brewing Co. at Greenville, South Carolina

A new brewing company is set to move forward on city-approved plans for the renovation of an iconic cigar warehouse in downtown Greenville.

The New Realm Brewing Co. Greenville facility will be the brewery's fourth location.

The development of the brewery and restaurant will include an outdoor dining pavilion and a covered event area with minor exterior and full interior renovations. New construction will take place on an empty lot at the intersection of South Main and Wardlaw streets, according to a New Realm press release. Once complete, the 11,000 square-foot facility will include a five-barrel brewhouse, scratch restaurant, biergarten, dedicated stage, outdoor bar, and will be home to New Realm's launch of its sour and barrel-aging program.

"Our plan is to produce these beers using traditional Belgian methods including multistage fermentation with a host of yeast strains and bacteria that provide unique flavors, acidity levels and aromas in the final beer and we cannot wait to introduce to the lineup."
