Crossroads Brewing opening Catskill location
Roger Hannigan Gilson is reporting in The Daily Mail Crossroads Brewing Company is coming to Catskill. The Athens-based brewery Mon., Jun. 6, finalized its purchase of Columbia-Greene Media's former printing building located on Water Street in the village. Crossroads will house its production facility and a tasting room at that location. Brewery co-owner Ken Landin said the Athens brew house and restaurant will stay exactly where it is, but the new location will allow the company to better supply New York with beer, with future plans to expand wholesale into surrounding states and beyond. Landin and business partner Janine Bennett purchased the former Brooks Opera House in Athens, in October of 2009, opened a seven-barrel brew house and tasting room a year later, followed by the pub in June 2011 and a full restaurant in the summer of 2012. Crossroads took first place in the 2014 World Beer Cup’s Best Foreign-Style Stout category for their Black Rock Stout, and was recently named Best Craft Beer Brewery in the Hudson Valley. Landin is an active WGXC Programmer. He hosts the "Hudson Valley Tap Show," which airs on the third Monday of each month. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
