Rhodell Brewery re-opens in new site in Murray Building

Rhodell Brewery opened its doors at its new location on Walnut Street Wednesday.  The microbrewery and bar closed on Water Street earlier this year to move into the Murray Building.  Co-owner Mark Johnstone says the larger space includes improvements for patrons:  

“We have a new brew system installed, so we can improve on that side of the business. And also we have better facilities when it comes to our kitchen, and facilities for live music as well.”

Johnstone says the grand opening was delayed from June as crews installed electrical systems.  He says the new location also includes expanded parking and an elevated patio overlooking Water Street.
