Dreams are being fulfilled in Warren this month, as the
Falling Down Beer Company starts to take shape at Dequindre and 10 Mile. Mark Larson, brewmaster, and George Lang, president, are working on transforming a diner into a top-notch brewery and taproom.

for information. Payment will be in, what else, beer, and trust me, it’s good stuff. This humble correspondent has had the opportunity to sample several of Mark’s brews in the last few months, and there is a wide variety of styles, all very good. The highlight is the Ninja Chicken IPA, planned to be their flagship beer (just imagine the artwork and marketing possibilities with that one!).
As construction continues, the brewhouse tanks will be installed and the menu finalized. They are installing a 10 bbl system, with a 910 gallon/week capacity; plans are to double their capacity in 6 months. A pre-opening event is scheduled for November 17, open to FDBC mug club members only. Currently only founding memberships are available, but $125 gets you a pint glass, a growler, six free growler fills, your name on the brewery walls, discounts, and a lot more.
The projected public opening of Falling Down Beer Company is 12/12/12. Stay tuned for more information and updates as their grand opening approaches.
