The new pub will be at 240 Lancaster Avenue, the site of the former Cafe la Grande restaurant, which closed this past weekend. Bill Mangan, Jr., McKenzie's owner, already owned the location.

Scott Morrison, brewer at the Glen Mills location since the pub opened in December 2001, will be head brewer for both pubs, overseeing two new assistant brewers still to be hired. Morrison began brewing as a volunteer at New England Brewing Company in Norwalk, Ct. in 1989. In 1995, became head brewmaster at Elm City Brewing Company in New Haven, Ct. When Elm City Brewing Company closed its doors in 1998, he returned to homebrewing and worked in the coffee industry until he accepted his current position at McKenzie in August 2001.

"I think it's fair to say that McKenzie Brew House has been an overwhelming success," Morrison said, "and Bill figures we'll do equally well on the Main Line."

The new pub and brewery will be larger than the current one's 9,000 square feet, somewhere between 9,000 and 11,000 square feet. It will also feature a 5,000 square foot deck. The brewhouse will be a 10bbl system similar to the one at Glen Mills, with the capacity to increase to 15bbl.
