I blogged a month ago in detail about Baker City’s Barley Brown’s Brewpub and their expansion plans, and there’s good news from the TTB (U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau): approval!

The United States Department Of The Treasury Alcohol And Tobacco Tax And Trade Bureau approved our Brewers Notice to open a second brewery in Baker City. Cheers!

This is great news, it means Barley Brown’s can (definitely) move forward with opening the 20-bbl brewery directly across the street from their existing brewpub. I don’t know how this impacts the (early) estimate of being up and running by mid-July (if that’s still a valid target), but a summertime trip to Baker City’s sounding pretty good!
