Signage is Up at Lafayette’s Soon-To-Open New Brewery

LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA – We drove by Lafayette’s soon-to-open new brewery this morning, and were greeted by something new.

Signage is up on this new Lafayette spot, which is set to open later this month (we’ll have an exact opening date to share with you soon–join our free 925 News newsletter so we can send you that).

The spot is Western Flyer Brewing. It’s at the new Brant development in downtown Lafayette, across from Trader Joe’s.

And the sign is looking great!

It’s a big, cursive script sign a decidedly retro look.

Given that the brewery is named after John Steinbeck’s boat, it feels appropriate that the sign has a throwback, literary type of feel.

Of course, it’s what’s inside that counts most! I was recently able to tour Western Flyer and meet owner Logan Jager.

It’s going to be a great space with some excellent lagers, as well as heavier beers like IPAs to suit local tastes.

Here’s a bunch more photos of the inside, to get you excited for the opening:
