Joe Sartie, owner of Snappers Bar and Grill on the Clinton Square, is a community oriented idea man.
So naturally when brew pubs started to crop up across the area, Sartie saw an opportunity for something new. The organizer of the annual Brushville concert on the square and the business owner explains he plans to take the former downtown dry-cleaner facility and turn it into a brewery.
According to Sartie, he is partnering with some friends from Decatur to brew the beer. He calls it 'dipping his toes in the water' and seeing where the idea takes him.
Sartie feels the downtown Clinton Square is on the up-and-up and hopes to continue to do his part in helping it grow. He feels the summer events that are starting to grow in popularity on the square are only going to add to the viability of the brewery.
