Return of the Empire (Finally)

The Empire Brewery in downtown Syracuse re-opened its doors in June after a more than three year hiatus. The Armory Square brewpub has been serving food for more than a month while it waited for the State Liquor Authority to approve its liquor license. That approval finally came through (on Friday the thirteenth, no less) and Empire's taps are now flowing with beer once again. They serve eight of their own brews as well as a rotating selection of New York State beers. Expect a full report soon. We are so on this!
