One of the town’s three new craft breweries has added a patio, and a second one will soon.

New Oberpfalz Brewing, the Bavarian-themed craft brewery at 121 E. Main Street, has greatly expanded its capacity by adding outdoor seating. Wildrose Brewing at 1104 E. Main Street also soon hopes to add enough al fresco tables to seat 20 to 30 more customers at any given time.
