10,600-square-foot brewery with Nordic flair coming to Wesley Heights

Traust Brewing Company, a new brewery aiming to reflect Nordic societies still seen throughout contemporary Scandinavia, will open this fall in Wesley Heights.

Traust is taking the 1.5-acre property formerly occupied by an animal pharmaceutical company named Fleming Laboratories. It’s located in Wesley Heights, across Thrift Street from Lucky Dog Bar & Brew. Oh, and they’ll have a 130-space parking lot, a rare feature for a brewery this close to Uptown.

Outdoor space: Traust will have a huge wrap-around patio and a hardscaped beer terrace. There will be an enclosed space for dogs and kids as well. “Look for progressive climate control methods on the south-facing patio — including fire, water and plant features — to make the Traust patio enjoyable despite the elements,” said Eric.
