Heavyweight To Resurface!

Posted by Foobooz on 6th December 2007

Earth, Bread & Brewery

Super cool news coming from Tom Baker who shutdown his Heavyweight Brewing in May of 2006. He isn’t headed to New York after all. He’s going to open a brew pub, Earth Bread + Brewery just down from McMenamin’s on Germantown Avenue.

“We have a signed lease and will be moving our equipment into place as soon as possible,” Baker said. “We also plan to relocate our residence to the area and hope to become a part of the neighborhood and a destination site for beer lovers.”

Heavyweight To New York

Posted by Foobooz on 23rd March 2007

When Heavyweight Brewing shut down there was hope that it would be reborn in Pennsylvania as a brew pub. But unfortunately that isn’t the case as Tom Baker and Peggy Zwerver have announced plans to open a brew pub in Nyak, New York. Oh well, it still sounds like a neat place and we wish them the best of luck.
