New Brew Works preps for May opening

Travis Tuttle, left, and Nick Fazzoni, own Butler Brew Works on Main Street where a new sign went up Friday. The owners plan for the new business to open later this spring.

Seeing the Butler Brew Works sign go up on Main Street this week, prompted the question, “When is it opening?”

Co-owners Travis Tuttle and Nick Fazzoni, who were inside working this week, admit they’ve had a few setbacks since their original launch time of May 2012.

But they’re feeling confident about their new opening deadline of the end of May.

“We’ve set a lot of deadlines that obviously we missed,” Tuttle said. “But this time the contractors are moving on schedule.”

And they say it will be worth the wait.

The tap room, growing in the former Eckert Drug Store building at North Main and Jefferson streets, will offer a selection of seasonal beers and four year-round staples: an IPA, a milk stout, an amber and a pale ale.

The beer will be made on site. The facility will have room for up to 20 taps, but will start with eight. It also will have a kitchen and offer a tapas-style menu.

“This will definitely be something different for Butler,” Fazzoni said.
