\nChristian and Bert Weber have opened the temporary taproom for Common Roots Brewing Co. at 30 Saratoga Ave. in South Glens Falls.
\nThe brewery was issued a Certificate of Occupancy on May 7, and held a soft opening for the temporary taproom later that day.
\nThe temporary building is owned by Elizabeth Miller, who reached out to the Weber shortly after a March 25 fire badly damaged their building just as an expansion had begun.
\n\u201cThe optics of the temporary location being right next to the original site are important,\u201d said Weber. \u201cBeing able to see the new building as we put it up, as construction continues, as progress happens this summer … It\u2019s important to us that we\u2019re right in the middle of the action.\u201d
\nBefore the fire, Common Roots had just started Phase 1 of a two-part expansion. They purchased the property next to the original site, and had the lots combined. The brewery was to add more production space. Hilltop Construction was involved in the planning process for the past year.
\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t really the way we wanted to go about it,\u201d said Weber. \u201cThis is a very nostalgic building to my family. My dad and I built it, and it\u2019s tough that it won\u2019t be there.\u201d
\nCommon Roots will take the entire building down as well as the house next door, and start construction in early summer.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re working with a design group and the Village of South Glens Falls, and we\u2019ll hopefully be moving along pretty quickly,\u201d said Weber.
\nThe bar from the original site is being used as the bar in the temporary taproom, along with new counter space built in to accommodate space.
\nSaid Weber, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of moving parts. We\u2019re looking to get back on our feet very quickly. We want to be a big steward of the community and getting back to our community roots. That way if anyone else has this happen, we can lead the way through this as well for them.\u201d
\nThe community has assembled behind Common Roots, with various fundraisers. Other breweries, individuals and businesses have spearheaded the fundraising efforts. Proceeds are being used to cover insurance gaps in payroll coverage for people working at the brewery during the transition.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve never been on this side of such a support system, and never expected something like this. We\u2019re humbled,\u201d said Weber.
\nThe Webers are keeping the full staff on payroll, finding work to keep them employed. Insurance does not cover the benefit and salary packages of all employees.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re working with banks now for additional financing. It\u2019s going to be a different facility … What it comes down to was the building didn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s about the people, and the community,\u201d said Weber.
\n\u201cThe hard part is already over,\u201d said Weber. \u201cNow it\u2019s time to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
