Ex-Heavyweight's Brewpub

Picked up this story from the Beer Yard:

Tom Baker, formerly of Heavyweight Brewing Company in NJ, has announced plans for a brewpub/beer bar in Nyack, NY. The former Heavyweight owner/brewer had promised fans that this would be the next step in his career. However it was widely speculated that the new venture would be located somewhere in eastern Pennsylvania.

The announcement of the brewpub's home in New York comes as a bit of a surprise and disappointment for me personally, as I was hoping it would pop up somewhere in my "day-trip" area. But I guess NY isn't that far away for those of us in the Susquehanna Valley, just not as close as we had hoped.

We wish Tom and his wife Peggy the best of luck and I will try to make my stash of Heavyweight beers last until the brewpub opens.

Cheers!
