Phoenix acquired all process assets from Flying Dog Brewery’s facility in Frederick, Maryland, following the brewery’s acquisition by a larger beer producer and subsequent production relocation. The original Flying Dog owners, who retained ownership of the land and buildings, sold the property to a non-beverage manufacturer and were required to clear the site within a defined timeframe. Phoenix promptly signed a purchase agreement and managed the complete liquidation of the brewery’s equipment. Assets included a 50 BBL and 15 BBL brewhouse, over a dozen 200–250 BBL jacketed fermenters, a yeast propagation system, grain handling equipment, bottling equipment and more. Some items were sold via auction, with remaining assets transferred to Phoenix’s yard for future sale.

Result

Phoenix swiftly fulfilled all obligations, clearing the Frederick, MD site on schedule. The owner was paid and recovered part of their investment, while Phoenix auctioned key assets and moved remaining equipment to inventory for resale, maximizing value from the decommissioned brewery.
