Construction has begun on a planned brewery in Saline, according to a post on the company's Facebook page.

Salt Springs Brewery plans to open this summer inside of the historic 115-year-old Stone Arch building in Saline. The 7,000 square-foot building formerly was home to a church.

The owners – Saline residents Mark Zadvinskis, Ron Schofield Jr. and Ed Brosius – closed on the purchase of the building last week.

“What a day! Armed with 14 dedicated volunteers, DTE, electricians, dumpsters arriving (and already filled) and the air filled with fine classic tunes, we carefully began demolition,” the post read. “We're incredibly excited to transform this space into a brewery which we hope will make you proud to call your own. Saline's Salt Springs Brewery!”

Along with several craft beers, plans call for “farm-to-table foods” including tapas, stone-fired pizzas, sandwiches and salads. There are also plans for an outdoor beer garden and fireplace.
