Thursday, September 14, 2017 we officially opened our doors for business. Community members, business groups, friends, politicians, and the media attended a reception at our new building in Superior, Wisconsin. Dave Benson and Tony Ciardelli presented the mayor of Superior, Jim Paine, with a custom-engraved mash paddle (he’s an avid home brewer) as a token of thanks and appreciation for the support the city gave Epicurean in making this new facility real. Visitors were given a full tour of the offices, warehouse, and manufacturing spaces and treated to a first look at our new Factory Outlet Store.
