Anyone who knows me, or is at least a Facebook friend of mine, was not surprised when I jumped on the oppor- tunity to do a story a few weeks after its opening to see how everything had been going. It sounds like the brewery Devan has gotten a good mix of people that are new to craft beer and those who are Filchak already familiar with craft beer. There’s a lot of craft beers you can find at liquor stores, especially ones that are a little bit big- ger. But I think it’s amazing that there are so many brew- eries in the area that we can stop by to see what’s new. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing what’s going on at Par- lor City Brewing. The beers I have had there have all been excellent. The interior is interesting and inviting, and you can even get a peek of where the beers are made if you walk toward the back of the place. Here are some of my favorite places in the area to go check out. And despite the COVID-19 pandemic, they all have open taprooms at this point. Masks are required to enter and order, but you can take it off once you’re at your table in most cases. Check out their Facebook pages for up-to-date information and hours. • Summit City Brewerks, 1501 E. Berry St., Fort Wayne.
