 Well, this weekend marked the beginning of a new era for Jack Pine Brewery in Baxter as it opened its new location right off Highway 371. Clayton Castle has that story in tonight's Community Spotlight segment. It was bottoms up on Friday and Saturday as Jack Pine Brewery held a grand opening celebration for its new location along Edgewood Road in Baxter right off Highway 371. Everything here, like I said, the tap rooms new. Everything's a lot better than our old location and a lot more user friendly. We've learned a lot in the last four years on what what we really needed to upgrade to and all of the all of the brewing equipment is all new as well. It's it's a lot bigger, easier to clean, easier to maintain and we'll have room for growth. We were pretty much maxed out at our existing location. Four owner Patrick Sundeberg, the opening comes as a relief. It's been so much work and time and effort to get us to this point but it's it's finally here the tap rooms open and we're rocking and rolling people are excited about it. We've got a lot of a lot of kind of momentum behind this. The new 7400 square foot facility features a bigger tap room and brewery but the new facility will also allow Jack Pine to can its beer and make it available in local stores and the growth is getting noticed in the community. Unbelievable facility location right here on 371 not tucked back into Baxter Industrial Park. Patrick and Sarah have a fabulous product here so to get it out here closer to the masses is a great thing. So whether you are a craft beer enthusiast or just need a night out with friends look no further. I think we really kind of hit the nail on the head. People really like the atmosphere having a good conversation over a pint of beer you know we're not we're not a bar we're not a restaurant it's just it's really we're a family friendly tap room where you can just kind of sit and enjoy a high quality product. After being closed on Memorial Day for the holiday the brewery will begin its regular business hour starting tomorrow.
