Thursday, October 28, 2010 Welcoming a new brewery One of the best ways of discovering breweries-to-be is by monitoring the liquor license applications in our local papers. And when an application for a license for a new brewery pops up, it’s usually a jolt to me because I feel I should already know about it.
