Fenceline Beer Lab is preparing to open its doors, bringing neighbors together over unique beer and food in downtown Huxley, after nearly two years of planning and construction.
According to owner and head brewer Susan Frantz, the nanobrewery and restaurant will open “hopefully within the next few weeks,” as finishing touches and final inspections are wrapped up.
It’s been a long road with a lot of hard work, said Frantz, who purchased the 5,000-square-foot building with her husband, Jonathan, in November 2017. They had been home-brewing for more than 20 years, she said, and opening their own brewery has been a long-held dream.
“It was always in our five-year plan, but we never really started the clock on that five years,” Frantz said. “It was always kind of the in the back of our minds that this is what we wanted to be doing.”
