BUCHANAN — A new brew pub is getting set to open in downtown Buchanan.

Steve Lecklider, the manager of Lehman’s Orchard in Bertrand Township, said the business plans to make and sell its own line of beer, spirits and wine at the former Clark Equipment Building at 204 N. Redbud Trail.

Lecklider finalized the purchase of the 12,000 square foot building from the City of Buchanan earlier this month.

The new establishment — which has not been named yet — will be a licensed distillery, brewery and winery, meaning all three activities can take place on site.

Lecklider said the plan is to renovate the building and begin selling some of its own products like jams, jellies, wine and cider this fall.

Then, if everything goes smoothly, he plans to open a tap room in the spring of 2016, complete with tasting and a light menu.

“The timeline is still flexible,” he said. “It will take a couple months to finish the roof and start the store.”

Lecklider said the beer lineup would change with the seasons. For instance, they will offer heavier beers like stouts or porters in the winter and fall, and lighter beer like Kolsch in the summer.

He plans to incorporate fruit from the orchard for some specialty brews.

“I’d love to use fruit as an additional flavor,” he said.

As for spirits, Lecklider said they would focus mainly on flavored brandy, like peach and apple.

Lecklider thanked the City of Buchanan for helping him through the process of finding and securing the location of his new venture.
