Local beer giant Ska Brewing got a little bigger on Monday, with the ground breaking for its new brewery and headquarters. With an already solid local following and its popularity growing outside the community, the hometown brewmeisters ahve outgrown their digs. The new ,24,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in Bodo Park will be just south of their present location. Increased beer production, greener business practices, as well as a live music venue are just a few of the things to look forward to. So lip up fatty, this project is estimated to be completed by mid-Summer 2008.
