MARQUETTE, MI – A 10-year-old Upper Peninsula business has something new brewing for its customers.

Blackrocks Brewery announced on Thursday, Feb. 27, that it purchased the building next door to its pub for an upcoming expansion to provide “a little extra space for everyone to enjoy while keeping the vibe and experience you would expect from Blackrocks.”

The expansion is in its “very beginning stages,” company officials said in a Facebook post. The project will take some time. The pub is currently in the yellow house on the corner.

“The gears are starting to turn as we continue lots of brainstorming sessions over beers,” the post said.

Blackrocks, 424 N. Third St. in Marquette, was founded in 2010 by David Manson and Andy Langlois, both former pharmaceutical salesmen. The former basement brewers have already expanded their business to distribute canned beer to parts of Michigan and Wisconsin. The new property is at 420 N. Third St.
