Have you heard? Something's brewing in Cassopolis, MI.

Located about an hour south of Kalamazoo is the small village of Cassopolis. Off the top of my head I can only think of 2 notable facts about the small community in Southwest Michigan:

  1. It's home to beautiful Diamond Lake.
  2. The inventor of cat litter, Ed Lowe, is from there.

However, as an avid craft beer enthusiast I'll no doubt soon find myself racing out to Cassopolis to check out the area's newest brewery. Here's what we know so far!

So far it looks like the new owners have put in plenty of hard work and elbow grease to bring the historic former firehouse to tip-top taproom shape; the floors have been poured, the brewing equipment has arrived, and there's already a buzz around town in anticipation!
