Rabid Brewing will soon host outdoor events after the Homewood village board approved an amendment to the business’s liquor license at the June 12 board meeting.
Rabid’s license didn’t originally allow for the outdoor sale of alcohol. The change allows the brewery to sell beer to patrons in an outdoor area at the brewery at 17759 Bretz Drive.
The outdoor area will be about 40 square feet, Rosado said. It will be sectioned off and have seating for about 40 people.
Rosado told the H-F Chronicle that Rabid Brewing does not own the field but has been granted use by the Bretz Drive Business Park condo owner’s association.
“The license allows outdoor drinking provided we follow some common sense guidelines including fencing off the space to be used,” she said. “It doesn’t specify the square footage allowable, so our plan is to expand and contract the space as needed.
Rosado said any event hosted by Rabid Brewing that would be large enough to take up the entire field would be a special event requiring additional permitting.
On Friday, June 22, Rabid will host its first doom metal concert with Bards of Doom featuring Ghost Ape and Plague of Carcosa.
