Our facility is more than Penguin City Beer; We are part of the community and want to show that cooperation and mutual support will build us all and strengthen our city. “
Penguin City will assist Ferguson with branding and distribution of their products throughout the Mahoning Valley, and Ferguson will assist with brewing in Penguin City.
The DOPE Cider House & Winery is due to open in late summer together with Penguin City and will have eight ciders on tap and four types of wine.
“To be honest, it was very emotional for me. I tried unsuccessfully for years to get my business going, and just as I was about to give up the opportunity arose, ”said Ferguson.
