Crooked Letter Brewing Company was recently featured in a news story about their upcoming opening.
“It just happens to be that over the past few years the state itself has made a lot of progress with beer,” said Paul Blacksmith, Crooked Letter’s general manager. “We started this project not counting on any of the legislation taking effect. We’ve gotten a lot of questions about if we’re doing this because of the legislation. The answer to that is no.”
Crooked Letter would become the state’s second brewery, joining Hancock County’s Lazy Magnolia Brewery.
. . .
The Blacksmiths hope to break ground on their building July 2, and have beer on the shelves this fall, perhaps in October or November. They said they’re close to finalizing contracts with distributors – they wouldn’t reveal which they’ll use because nothing is signed yet – within Mississippi and Alabama. There’s also the matter of procuring a few more pieces of equipment for their 30-barrel facility.
. . .
Whatever they produce won’t be confined to Mississippi. Paul Blacksmith said the plan is for Crooked Letter beer to be in neighboring states “shortly after the New Year.”
