Check out this post on Mark Maynard’s blog about a beer garden coming to Depot Town. Sounds promising and fun, though I still don’t have a very clear sense of where said beer garden would be located. And besides, you can drink beer outside (and inside) at The Sidetrack right now.
By the way, about that link to The Sidetrack web site: I just spent a few minutes browsing it, and if you get a chance, I’d encourage you to take a look at the “Dear Linda” section, supposedly written by Sidetrack owner Linda “Frenchie” French. A hoot and a half.
There’s a sign on some warehouse on Forest right by the railroad tracks that says something like “future home of Ypsi Brewing Company” or something like that. It’s a weird location, but it might be cool My loyalty to Sidetrack will be hard to shake though.
