Last call for Grant’s pub?
We’ve written before about the problems surrounding Bert Grant’s Ales. Now word comes from Yakima that state of Washington has closed the doors at Grant’s brewery pub and they aren’t likely to reopen under the same ownership.
The Yakima-Herald Republic reports:
The restaurant and bar has closed after the state barred Yakima Brewing & Malting Co. from serving beer and employing workers by revoking its liquor license and industrial insurance coverage certificate.
If the pub reopens at its Glenwood Square site at 5110 Tieton Drive, it might have a new owner.
“We are talking with a prominent local family about purchasing the pub,” said Greg Tranum, sales and marketing director for Yakima Brewing & Malting Co., which owns Grant’s.
Founded by the late Bert Grant, the company opened its pub in 1982. It is believed to be the first brewpub since Prohibition.
