Cat emails, “We are proud that our brewery restaurant and craft beer test kitchen will open in late fall. Portner Brewhouse will open exactly a century after the closure of our family’s pre- Prohibition brewery in the same city. The brewery will offer four of the original pre-Prohibition beers with seasonals and creations from our test kitchen, while the restaurant will emphasize classic German and contemporary American cuisine. For updates and an invitation to the opening, join the taste test team on our website.”
