Brew Hub LLC has signed a 50,400-square-foot industrial lease at 4100 South Frontage Road, building 700, in Lakeland.

St. Louis-based Brew Hub is a new business model in the craft brewing industry. It allows craft brewers to partner with the company and brew their beers onsite, and then have the beer packaged and distributed using the Brew Hub distribution system.

This will allow craft brewers to expand their distribution without the overhead costs of building new breweries or transporting beer across the country.

The facility, expected to start construction in May, will be built according to Brew Hub's specifications. The company also will offer craft breweries services including sales, marketing, logistics, legal and government affairs.

The Lakeland brewery will have an initial brewing capacity of 75,000 barrels, or one million cases, annually.

Edward Miller and Dolores Seymour of Colliers International Tampa Bay represented the tenant in the transaction. Jan Boltres of Colliers International Tampa Bay represented the landlord, Aspyre Properties.
