Yazoo Outgrows Marathon Building, Heading To Gulch

July 8, 2009 10:52 AM 7 comments

Though we love Yazoo Brewing’s space in the Marathon Building, after taking a tour of the brewery late last year, we realized how cramped they are back there. And if today’s announcement that Yazoo is packing up and moving to a larger space in the Gulch means more Yazoo for us, well, you won’t find any complaints here!

Yazoo Brewing has already started construction at 910 Division, a space that is four times bigger than their current location. Owner (and brewmaster extraordinaire) Linus Hall plans to have the new brewery and taproom open by the beginning of 2010.

How do you feel about the move? We hold the Marathon Building near and dear to our hearts, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

    If the taproom is open normal bar hours and within walking distance of the rest of the Gulch, sounds like a win to me, for the city and for their business.

    Walking distance from Cumming Station means I can dump the Flying Saucers bad service and get yazoo straight from the source!

    It'll definitely put it in a better part of town, and in one more suitable to its clientele… but what will happen to their existing building at Marathon? Maybe Lightning 100 can move into it and create a kickass studio and office in one place instead of having the office be down the hall from the studio (with a photo company in between).

    I think for now they're going to keep the current taproom hours, but they're open to expanding if the demand is there.

    In the Yazoo blog post, Linus says he's kicking around ideas for the current space. Pretty vague, but maybe we'll see a Yazoo presence there still.
