The renovated Garden Theater building has gained its second and final tenant, who will join Mayfly Market & Deli in reopening the historic building to the public for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Golden Age Beer Co., a Homestead-based craft brewery, was announced as the next occupant of The Garden, the new name for the Garden Theater, in a Sept. 30 press release by Q Development and Trek Development Group, the two companies overseeing the theater’s redevelopment.
“We have always looked for community-friendly serving partners to be in The Garden,” Rick Belloli, principal for Q Development, told The Chronicle. “Golden Age is exactly that.”
Peter Kurzweg, co-founder of Golden Age, said Golden Age specializes in traditional lagers, which he called the beers that “the craft beer movement left behind.”
However, beer enthusiasts should expect differences between the Homestead and Northside locations. Kurzweg said while the original Homestead Golden Age has a “very German-leaning vibe” in terms of its drinks, the Northside location is going in a different direction.
“We’re going to make (the Northside) our exclusive home for Bohemian lagers,” Kurzweg said.
