Beer brewing started as a hobby for Ed Knott and Andy Devine of Albion.
They have recently taken their hobby to the “craft brewing” stage with the formation of Beaver View Brew Company, and will begin making their signature Flat Tail Ale available on tap at The J Sports Bar and Grill in Albion starting this Friday, Feb. 25.
Their brewing facilities are located in a section of the building at 2558 Sale Barn Road, which also houses Ed’s business, Applied Connective Technologies.
The location is literally a “stone’s throw from the mighty Beaver Creek,” as they say.
