Jolly Roger Taproom could open late January

Maritime Pacific Brewery and the Jolly Roger Taproom are getting closer to opening in their new digs (1111 NW Ballard Way.)

Originally scheduled to open in October, the Seattle Weekly reports the brewhouse and pub could open the end of January. Owners George and Jane Hancock decided to move into this new, larger, location to keep up with demand. As soon as they get brewing, they will be able to brew four batches of 40 barrels of beer each day, compared with the four batches of 16 barrels at the old location. Jane tells the Weekly that they are trying to keep the feel of the old place, “We are really trying to be enough the same place that everybody enjoys it. We still want that cozy ambiance.” (Photo from previous story.)
