ALTON – The Alton City Council gave final approval Wednesday night for an agreement to lay the groundwork for the next home of Germania Brew Haus in Alton. Under the agreement between the City of Alton and G1 Germania Brew Haus LLC, the city has agreed to reimburse Germania for up to $75,000 worth of redevelopment costs for the site at 700 E. Broadway. This amount would be paid using Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds. The full scope of the project includes site excavation, grading, paving, and utility installation. Under the terms of the agreement, Germania agrees to have this work completed within one year, now that the agreement has been officially approved and executed.

Broadway, which remains open until the new location is built. The next Brew Haus will feature a dedicated drive-thru, rooftop seating, and all-season patio seating
