UPDATE: Our own Marion Winik is one of the directors of the new brewery! Check back in the Baltimore Fishbowl for a post from her about the new project, including an estimated date for its opening!  She writes in an email: โ€œIan Hummel, who is the mastermind and brewmeister [of the new brewery], was our closest neighbor when the boys were growing up in rural PA, and remains one of [my son] Vinceโ€™s best friends.โ€

Ryan Detter over at City Paper spotted a notice on an old Mt. Vernon fire house that suggests the space may become a microbrewery!

The notice states that Brew House No. 16 has requested a class B liquor license and a permit for outdoor seating. There was also some brewing gear visible, so itโ€™s safe to assume that the neighborhood may be getting another microbrewery in the near future.

The address is 831 N. Calvert St., and it has a beautifully detailed facade. It would be great to have a reason to hang out at the historic building.
