One of the most interesting ongoing developments at the Mark Greenberg-owned building at 1001 Day Hill Road in Windsor is the construction of a stylish, fun 16,500-square-foot brewpub.
Dayrle Dunlap hopes to open Dudleytown Brewing Co. by the close of the year.
Dunlap, 52, walked away from a lucrative career a year ago to work full time on his Dudleytown dream.
“I basically was a demolition and environmental remediation contractor,” Dunlap said. “I did that for 30 years and decided that wasn’t really my passion, so now I have something I can be passionate about. I stopped getting a paycheck about a year ago, so I’m ready to start generating some revenue.”
Dunlap began brewing as a hobby about five years ago. He enjoyed it so much that he converted a barn at his Windsor home into a micro brewery, making beer to share with friends and fans at brew festivals. He hasn’t yet sold a single beer.
Now, Dunlap is in the process of fitting out a brewery, bar and restaurant in the Day Hill Road site.
It will have 8,500 square feet of production space on the lower level and an 8,000-square-foot pub above. The top level will include an expansive terrace and 3,500-square-foot restaurant run by Square Peg Pizzeria.
