SAPORTA REPORT — Monday Night Brewing is set to open a massive new indoor taproom and outdoor space just steps from the Beltline on Aug. 23, with a full kitchen, coffee and brews for customers to explore.

The Grove is a 17,000 square foot expansion of Monday Night Brewing’s West Midtown taproom. It includes two massive pizza ovens with a full dining menu, a cocktail bar, daily coffee service and a hefty beer list.

It’s a big change from the garage where Jeff Heck and his co-founders, Joel Iverson and Jonathan Baker, started brewing together on Monday nights over a decade ago.

“As you can tell, this place is quite a bit of an upgrade from my garage, and from our original spot right next door,” Heck said.

The Grove will be the main hangout space, while the original taproom will be set aside mostly for private events. By day, the 7,400 square foot taproom will serve coffee, breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Then the space will transition into a full-on brewery with 30 rotating beers on tap, a seasonal cocktail menu and a full wood-fired pizza menu. [MORE]
