I was at the Untapped Blues and Brews festival in Tri-Cities over the weekend when I spotted my friends at Yakima Craft Brewing. They told me some great news so I thought I'd share it with you.

I spoke with AJ from Yakima Craft Brewing Company and he said they're planning on opening up a new taproom downtown on Yakima avenue. This is awesome news to encourage more shopping downtown - especially First Fridays.

Not just a taproom, but this will include full restaurant. This is one place kids will be welcome as well.

And, speaking of kids, they'll have a dedicated tap just for homemade root beer as well. I'm very curious to try this.

Tentative plans are to open in August near the corner of 3rd and Yakima ave. I'm looking forward to it.
