USA, MI: A micro brewery pub to open in Alma

The Mt. Pleasant Brewing Company will open the “Alma Brewing Company”. If all goes well, owner Jim Holton said he hopes to have it operational in June, the Morning Sun reported on December 11.

“I was walking downtown Alma about a month ago and found a space that was empty,” he said.

Plans then began to form for a spot to sell “artistry style” beer and eventually, wine.

What is likely to take some time is the permit to make and sell beer and wine.

“Liquor Control is the hard part,” he explained. “The last one took nine months to get through.”

Alma City Commissioner Greg Mapes, pointing out that he had been to the manufacturing facility and tap room in Mt. Pleasant, thanked and welcomed Holton to Alma.

The board unanimously passed a resolution supporting his application to the Liquor Control Commission.
