Warped Wing opened its doors in January 2014, and less than a year later, the brewery signed a lease on a second facility north of downtown to accommodate the stronger-than-projected sales of its beers, both in kegs and in pint cans for retail sales. A restaurant, the Spent Grain Grill, opened inside the brewery in 2015.

In 2016, three new 120-barrel fermentation tanks, each with a capacity of about 3,700 gallons, were installed at the brewery to boost production capacity.
