Two weeks after longtime tenants, High Spirits Hospitality announced they would be moving out of the  Cigar Warehouse, the historic building has new tenants.

New Realm Brewing Company announced it would open a new location in the 11,000-square-foot facility at 912 S. Main St. Representatives for the company confirmed the development via e-mail Monday.

The new brewery and restaurant “will include a 5-barrel brewhouse, scratch restaurant, biergarten, dedicated stage and outdoor bar, and will be home to New Realm’s sour and barrel-aging program,” a press release stated.

The location is slated to open in Fall 2022. 

New Realm co-founder and CEO, Carey Falcone said the company had been looking for a space in Greenville for over three years.

“One step inside of the iconic Cigar Warehouse and we knew we found a home that would serve as the perfect opportunity for us to create a community gathering place in an amazing city,” Falcone said in a statement. “The entire New Realm family is excited and we look forward to being a part of the Greenville community.”

New Realm was founded in Atlanta in 2016. The brewery has grown to include other locations in Savannah, Virginia Beach and Charleston. Plans for the Greenville space include maintaining the building’s historic character. 

The Greenville brewery will feature New Realm’s award-winning craft beers along with limited specialty releases. The new location will also offer the brewery a chance to launch a sours program, according to information provided by the company.https://d7ada49b361f232e533c36f36020c6a6.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

“A sours program has always been in our plans and the history and architecture of the Cigar Warehouse is the perfect location,” Mitch Steele, New Realm Co-Founder and Brewmaster said in a statement. “

The process involves barrel aging beers with a blend of microorganisms to create sour, tart, and acidic flavors.

“The result will be a wide range of complex, delicious sours, artfully combining tradition with innovation, that we cannot wait to introduce to the lineup,” Steele said.https://cm.greenvilleonline.com/overlay/061022_JuneRefresh_inline_desktop_anon
