Daft Badger Brewing set to open
Northwest style custom-made beers will highlight an attractive building (inside and out) at Daft Badger Brewing at 1710 N. Second St.
With special used brick and timbers, inside seating is for 40 at custom-made tables with a window to the brewery area and a timbered and covered pergola.
The 10-barrel system will process 20 barrels of beer (315 gallons) in one brew. Lunch and dinner options include house-smoked meats and cheeses, house-made sausages and "adventurous" salads and side dishes.
Darrell Dlouhy, Jake Capaul and Keith Bertram are the honchos of the new place two blocks west of Bistro on Spruce, near Slate Creek Brewing.
Daft Badger Brewing will open 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20, with regular hours of 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Phone 665-9892.
