trying to think where in Drake area this could go?
Maybe they build a whole new location, lots of redevelopment happening in Dog Town right now. Did anything go into that bbq place that was on the southern edge of Drake neighborhood?

Are you talking about Woodys? Don't think that location would work for a taproom without a lot of work. It was incredibly small.

Honest question as a non drinker - how many craft breweries, taprooms, etc can the metro support? Seems like there a million options at this point.

Well we have lost a few too. Really the only expansion of the industry we have seen here in the last few years is breweries from around the state opening up dsm locations.

Lua was a cold start and has done well enough to be opening a 2nd location

The ones that suck are falling off and being replaced by 2nd tap rooms for high quality breweries from other parts of the state

Thanks, that helps add context. I had never heard of Toppling Goliath so didn't know they were a national brand. My ignorance is showing:)
