Instead, its focus is more on manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The forthcoming Seventh Street location will not have brewing on site, but instead will focus exclusively on bringing locals and tourists alike together over an assortment of suds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe are really excited to be able to make new beers that our customers have been asking for, and more of those traditional styles that they have been looking for from us,\u201d Casey said of the variety of beers on tap and in bottles that the new downtown location plans on serving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhat I am really excited about is being able to bring not only those beers to the public and our great city, but also to bring a lot of my friends\u2019 beers up from breweries mostly along the Front Range,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Located along Glenwood\u2019s historic Restaurant Row, Casey said that he wanted to focus on beer exclusively, but he invites customers to bring in food from any area eatery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe won\u2019t have food, although you will be able to bring your own food into our facility,\u201d Casey said. \u201cWe never wanted to serve food, and we didn\u2019t want to compete with all of the amazing restaurants down there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Casey anticipates completing construction and obtaining the necessary licenses and permits by mid-summer, and will announce an official opening date shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019ll have beers on draft and bottles to go. \u2026We hope to have a great indoor environment and we\u2019ll have a patio as well,\u201d Casey said. \u201cWe\u2019re really going to have something that is unique to the downtown core area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Additionally, the city\u2019s business community quickly praised the news of the local brewing company\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that Casey Brewing is opening a new tasting room, which will add even more vibrancy to our thriving downtown,\u201d Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association President &amp; CEO Angie Anderson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cNot only will it be a great new place for visitors and locals, but the new location provides Casey Brewing the opportunity to really showcase their award-winning craft. We wish them great success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:mabennett@postindependent.com\">mabennett@postindependent.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/news\/local\/glenwoods-own-casey-brewing-blending-taps-downtown-location-for-second-taproom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brewer Eric Metzger and Troy Casey inside the current bar and brewing facility located in South Glenwood.
