Our friends at Bemidji Brewing Company recently moved from Harmony Food Co-op’s kitchen to their own space at 401 Beltrami Avenue NW in downtown Bemidji. The brewery is now up and running and they’re working to get their taproom open soon. Right now it looks like they’re shooting for mid-July. Our new brewery is up and running which means we’ll be ready to open our taproom doors in mid-July 2013.  Watch their Facebook for progress and details!
