joe Artanis, who owns a circa 1902 warehouse at 41 Chandler Street, is working on plans to have at least five craft beer makers including 3 Sons Brewing Co. that he founded in Dania Beach, Florida and a locally produced Iron Belt Brewery anchor the 25,000-square-foot building.

“It is going to be a lot more than just a brewery,” Artanis said.

Artanis said he is working with three European craft beermakers to joining his project.

The project, which includes a 5,000-square-foot addition, will be reviewed on April 17 by the Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals.

Plans include a production area, tasting room and other amenities.

CJS Architects is designing the project.

Artanis hopes to start work on the project, set for the former Keystone Manufacturing Co. building, later this year and have it completed by spring 2020.
