And during the pandemic, the Livonia property, with its huge outdoor seating area, became one of the best spots to stretch out and safely enjoy a beer. It’s known for its wide range of fruited sours and thoughtful India pale ales, which often feature unexpected hop combinations. In less than four years, Rising Storm has emerged as one of the best breweries in the Rochester region. “This is a part of history and it needs some attention. There are racks of chairs, tablecloths, white catering coats. Lots of chairs here that we’re not going to use. “Nothing has been updated in here in 40 years,” Blake said during a recent tour. The Livonia location, along with its brewery, will remain open, Blake said. It was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 1972.īrewery co-founder Bill Blake said the massive undertaking at the 19,000-square-foot building will cost “in the millions” and hopefully be complete by the spring. The mill, which was constructed in 1840 above Irondequoit Creek opposite what is now Ellison Park, served as a hub for banquets and special events for decades. Rising Storm Brewing, which opened its original Livonia location in 2018, recently closed on the vacant Daisy Flour Mill property, 1880 Blossom Road, in Penfield and has gained all of the necessary town approvals to transform the building on the 3-acre site into Monroe County’s newest destination brewery.
