The founder of Meadville's Voodoo Brewery is excited about an upcoming move into Homestead.
Matt Allyn says the microbrewery, located north of Pittsburgh, will have a pub up and running in the borough's former municipal building and fire station within six months. The brewery was asked to visit Homestead by the borough council and its redevelopment agencies.
"The more and more we started to interact with (Homestead officials) we really, really liked their ideas for the town," he says. "They seem to be very aggressive about getting some revitalization going."
Although Voodoo doesn't have immediate plans to brew any of its beers in Homestead, Voodoo is looking to operate a restaurant and "tap room" and could eventually produce some other products such as pop, Allyn says.
"It's a great building and it's got a lot of history," Allyn says. "It's one of those buildings that kind of talks to you."
We interviewed Allyn on July 4 for our podcast, which is also heard at 9:30 a.m. Fridays on WEDO (810).
