The team plans on brewing their frst four batches of beer at the end of this month and plan to open their new bar around Christmas. “It’s been a pretty amazing experience; the support has been awesome,” co-owner Abe Furth said. “We haven’t even started brewing yet and our Facebook page has over 1,300 fans.” The brewery will produce four beers in the frst round of production.
