"The township's zoning hearing board unanimously gave Mark Lehman and Chris Miller permission to convert the former Catholic church, school and a third building at 783 E. Northampton St. into a microbrewery, tasting room and pub-type restaurant.
The two, represented by attorney Stephen Menn, asked for a variance to set up shop in the residential neighborhood because they have outgrown their current quarters in Miller's Plains Township garage.
Lehman and Miller started with a home brew kit in 2005, and in 2009 they started to make craft beers with names like Anthracite Ale, Malty McGuire and Old King Coal. They brew 100 gallons at a time and sell their beer by the keg to 28 bars from Eynon to Hazleton, Miller said."
I'll be looking forward to sitting in the tasting room, enjoying a few cigars and beers while overlooking the Wyoming Valley. This is great news for those of us who enjoy their beers. Congrats to Chris and Mark and best of luck on the new venture! Cheers Boys!!
