New Catskills brewery project plans July debut

The Crossroads Brewing Company, which  has been operating as the brew house and restaurant 21 2nd St. in Athens, will open for business in Catskill this summer.

21 2nd St. was opened at the former home of the Brooks Opera House in October 2009  by Ken Landin and Janine Bennett.

The brewery construction has begun in the former Columbia-Greene Media printing press building by Dimensions North of Catskill, and a Fourth of July opening of the tap room is being projected by the owners.

The expansion will have the capacity to hold 10,000 barrels compared to the 900-barrel brew house in Athens, and will allow Crossroads to market and sell its products to adjacent states.
