Ypsilanti's Corner Brewery gets OK to add solar panels

By Paula Gardner

Ypsilanti's Historic District Commission authorized the Corner Brewery to add solar panels to the building at 720 Norris St., according to the Ypsilanti Courier.

The approval is part of an expansion process for the brewery, owned by Matt and Rene Greff, who formed the plans in late 2010.

The couple planned to add a small accessory building to the property, north of Depot Town, along with replacing windows, pursuing a "green" retrofit, and adding a new bottling line.

“We’re really excited about our project and feel confident that we will be able to work with (the city) to figure out how to make it all happen,” Rene Greff told AnnArbor.com in March.

It is a great idea to have solar! Unfortunately, we don't patronize the Corner anymore because of the owners' endorsement of/contribution to/and receipt of an appointment from Snyder.

Does the water come from a different supply?

So glad you enjoy the Blonde at Corner! It's definitely one of our most popular beers and, believe it or not, it's the same recipe used at both places! :) For more info, check out the beer profile at: <a href="http://www.arborbrewing.com/beers/5" rel='nofollow'>www.arborbrewing.com/beers/5</a> Cheers!

Power harvested from the sun to make or bottle my beer. I'm all for it!

I'm surprised the Historic Commission let them do that. It might detract from that lovely building complex to the west. Seriously, though, this is another feather in the Greff bonnet. Great progress has been made at The Corner.
