After months of Site Selection throughout Michigan, Arcadia Ales and Urban Feast have chosen Lansing to open its first Arcadia Ale & SmokeHouse located at 2101 E. Michigan Avenue in the East Side Neighborhood.

The culinary operation will feature locally sourced and organic ingredients to produce ale-centric, artisan- smoked meat and wood fired pizza. From behind the bar, guests will benefit from Arcadia's 20 years of medal winning beercraft. Stocked with a full compliment of Arcadia Ales, including five "Lansing Only" beers crafted on-premise, today's aficionado will find more than enough to sample and discuss. Arcadia Ale & SmokeHouse in not only for beer drinkers! We will also serve Michigan Made Wine and Craft Cocktails with creative non-alcoholic beverages.

Urban Feasts penchant for building, operating and evolving unique restaurant brands is well known in Lansing and Grand Rapids. This project will allow the full compliment of its experience and success to be used in executing a future neighborhood stand-by. Arcadia Ale & SmokeHouse will boast of an organic design, exciting dining and drinking spaces, an unmatched outdoor terrace, live-entertainment and over- the-top friendly hospitality. We will also offer an extensive Carry-Out option for Growlers, Meats, Sides and Pizza.

"We're very excited to extend our brand to Lansing. Kris Elliott is an asymmetrical restaurateur with whom I share common values. When I looked into his body of work, even beyond Troppo and The Grand Woods Lounge, I realized that there was no one I would trust more to put our Brand into restaurant action." - Tim Suprise (Arcadia Ales)

"Arcadia has been served in our restaurants since 2000. After getting to know Tim and Mardy and seeing how they make and develop beer, but also how they handle their food, we became instant disciples and wanted to do our part to spread the Arcadia story ." -Kris Elliott (Urban Feast)

"Arcadia and Urban Feast are a winning combination that will have a major positive impact on the revitalization of the Michigan Avenue Corridor - Lansing's own 'Miracle Mile' - while offering a unique blend of products unlike anything else in metro Lansing. I look forward to seeing this great partnership come to fruition!" - Mayor Virg Bernero (City of Lansing)

For further information, Arcadia will be hosting a SmokedMeat and greet at Tavern & Tap on Tuesday November 24 from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m.
