COCHRANE, AB – The Cochrane Eagle reports that a local family is planning to open a brewery and restaurant in Cochrane, a small town west of Calgary.
Half Hitch Brewery is being developed by a team that includes award winning homebrewer Chris Heier, his father Mike Heier, brother Kyle Heier and step-sister Brittney Kozloski, with several other relatives participating as shareholders.
Initial plans call for the brewery and restaurant to be housed in a building designed to look like a traditional Monitor barn, with an aim to have all approvals and permits ready for construction to start in early 2014.
More details can be found in the Cochrane Eagle article, and those interested in following the progress of Half Hitch Brewery can find them on Twitter.
