Paris Station, a new brewery at 304 W. Washington St. in downtown Paris, will host a grand opening from 5-9 p.m. on the Fourth of July.
The building holds a rich history that involves the foundation of Paris’ spring celebration. Originally a horse and mule livery in 1909, the building has met multiple phases of life, one of those involved a predecessor to today’s Fish Fry, known as Mule Day.
Its newest phase of life values the threshold of unity and fellowship within the local and surrounding communities through bringing people together where everyone will feel welcomed, according to Matt and AnneMarie Tanner, owners of Paris Station.
They say they’re ecstatic to share their beloved project with the West Tennessee community.
“After two years of hard work, we are thrilled to announce the opening of Paris Station and launch of West Tennessee Brewing in the heart of downtown Paris,” Matt Tanner said. “We anticipate the rollout of the region’s only iPourit self-serving tap wall, kitchen and events center over the next few months.”
During the opening, guests will be able to enjoy beverages and play games on the indoor lawn. The second phase includes rolling out the Taproom, featuring the region’s only self-serving iPourit tap wall.
The third phase constitutes the opening of Paris Station’s kitchen, where the flavors of West Tennessee will be available for guests to enjoy. The final phase involves the full launch of the brewery and events space.
Jonathan Lodge, head brewmaster and former owner of PerryLodgic Brewing Co. near Paris, said, “Paris Station is just what the community needs to amplify the importance of supporting locally owned businesses.
“I’m most excited about bringing a communal space into Henry County that will be able to serve a vast array of people and interests,” he said. “The community will be a tool that helps us grow Paris Station; in turn, Paris Station will be a tool for the community to use to enhance and promote local businesses.”
