More Craft Beers, Prost

From the Stevens Point Journal

Expansion on tap for Stevens Point Brewery
By B.C. Kowalski • Journal staff • December 7, 2010

The Stevens Point Brewery is about to expand again.

The Stevens Point Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit Monday for the brewery to add a 6,600-square-foot warehouse at 2617 Water St.

"We've seen an increased interest in craft beers," said Art Oksuita, the brewery's director of operations. "We couldn't meet the demand last summer."

The brewery added 2,700 square feet last summer and then another full-time employee in October.

The expansion approved Monday probably will allow the brewery to add two or three full-time employees to its current staff of 35.

For Oksuita, that's good news in tough times.

Sorry, I'm not into craft beers but for those of you who do,

PROST!!!!!!
