Actually, we're hoping to get the brewery working at the end of the summer and to open up the restaurant more towards fall. Lots of rehab work to finish and red tape to cut through in this great city. Thanks for all the kind words.

Nice job on featuring hometown breweries. Do you know of any foreign brewers that have taken up residence in the area that feature old world styles and techniques? Most of the smaller places seem to be blazing their own trails.

But does "open" mean that the brewing starts or is "open" mean there is beer for sale and a pub?

Deth's being optimistic for summer. I'm planning on visiting Rev Brew in the coming weeks to see the progress of construction, so I can see first hand where they stand.

awesome! let's hope they can get open this summer- i'd think fall is more realistic.

Crown Brewery had some amazing beers the few times I stopped by. I always fear what will happen to breweries when a brewmaster leaves, but it's more common than I realize, I suppose.

Agreed. if Rogue can sell growlers retail, surely Piece can.

I think they could do very well in the retail market with some of their offerings though

mike_thoms is right. piece is a brewpub, not a brewery for retail consumption.

Piece is only a brewpub, they're not actually brewing beer for mass consumption to be sold in retail outlets.
