In perhaps one of the biggest real estate news stories of the spring, Two Brothers Brewing Company announced Tuesday evening that it had purchsed the former America’s Roundhouse in Aurora. Two Brothers Brewing Company is owned by co-founders Jason and Jim Ebel and currently operates a microbrewery and tap house in Warrenville. Two Brothers has been in operation since 1996 and has been constantly expanding – adding additional capacity and additional types of beer seemingly every year. Two Brothers beers have been distributed all over the midwest and have a cult-like following both at home and abroad for championing rare brewing styles and ingredient combinations.

Two Brothers Brewing Company reportedly paid around $1.1 million for the former Walter Payton’s Roundhouse in Aurora with plans to re-structure the operations there. The brewing company has been operating the Two Brothers Tap House in Warrenville for several years and it has become a prime destination for fans of Two Brothers beers. The addition of the huge America’s Roundhouse to the Two Brothers portfolio will no doubt allow the company to expand both its brewing operation as well as hopefully serve as a second brewpub with a central location to downtown Aurora. The Two Brothers facebook page has been abuzz ever since the announcement with fans of the company cheering the deal.
