Atwater Brewery this year marked 25 years in business, and the company is working to ensure the next 25 are even stronger for Detroit’s largest brewery.

Atwater is wrapping up $1 million in capital improvements that have been underway for more than a year, according to President Katy McBrady. The updates include adding state-of-the-art kegging and packaging lines, she said.

“The improvements will allow us to produce more beer at a faster rate, package more,” McBrady told Crain’s. “We’ll be able to send more of a variety of beer into the market, too. Our intent is for us, over the next 25 years, to make the best beer possible.”
