It has been nearly 25 years since Burlington had a brewery and that drought is expected to end next year when Tim Sullivan opens a planned craft brewery and taproom in the city’s downtown.
Sullivan, a formally educated brewmaster, has the financial backing of his family as he prepares to transform the former Standard Press building at 700 N. Pine Street.
It is a homecoming and a dream realized for Sullivan and his wife.
