Wrecker Brewing is the variance seeker at 1419 E. Market Street in New Albany.


In March over at the Potable Curmudgeon, we asked ...

Does anyone know anything about Wrecker Brewing Company?


No one did. Then, last week ...

A brewery at 1419 E. Market Street in New Albany?


Looks like we're getting warmer. Here's an excerpt from the Board of Zoning Appeals agenda for Wednesday, November 5.

Docket B-42-14:
Charles Holwerk requests a Variance to permit a brewery that will not meet off-street requirements in the R-4, Multi-family (high density) district, at 1419 E. Market Street.

Scooting on over to LinkedIn (I just knew it would be useful some day), we find a listing for Mr. Holwerk ...

I am an engineer by experience, a manager by choice, and a physicist by degree, with experience in financial and operations management, product design, marketing, and manufacturing.

I am the owner and founder of Wrecker Brewing LLC. A craft brewery in the Louisville metro area that supports the community through The Wrecker Foundation ...

 ... I know a thing or two about beer as well...

Excellent!

This all sounds quite promising ... and less than three blocks from my house. If Chef Israel Landin succeeds in rehabilitating his eatery (the Green Mouse says it is to be called Salsa's, not La Rosita) at his former 1515 E. Market location -- and he';s trying -- my diet just got far more difficult.

You better not be toying with me about "Salsa's". I KNOW where you live.

I chatted with Israel just the other day. He's working day jobs, and says he will begin spending evenings getting the place in shape, hoping for a February opening. He's going to have to substitute elbow grease for capital, but he's done that before. And he did sy there'd be the name change.
