BUSINESS BRIEFS: Monte's Taproom, BlueSky MD

Here are this week's business briefs:

Monte's Taproom opens Friday

The Taproom at Monte’s will have its grand opening on Friday, highlighting rotating taps of local beers and craft choices from all over North America. The full Monte’s Sub Shop menu from the sandwich shop next door will be available for purchase as well as a special late-night menu featuring smaller bites.

Well wishers and friends of owners Monica and Dan Ruiz packed the taproom during a soft opening and celebration last Friday.

"Everyone who was invited came," said Jarett Gates, who is managing the bar. Monte's is featuring a dozen taps — half local and half from out of town, as far away as San Francisco and Boulder, Colo., and as close as Clayton in eastern North Carolina. Designed as a neighborhood bar, Monte's encourages patrons to sip and visit. It has no TV  but instead offers board games and a small outdoor seating area out back.

The Taproom at Monte’s will serve pints, half pours and flights. Some of the beers on tap for opening week include 21st Amendment's Hell or High Watermelon Wheat, Deep River Black IPA, Horny Goat Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter and Pisgah Pale Ale. The taproom will also have the occasional pint nights, live music and an expanding collection of board games and cards.“We are excited to officially announce the grand opening of the Taproom at Monte’s,” Dan Ruiz said. “We want the Taproom to be family-friendly hangout where you can come and enjoy some of your favorite craft beers, grab some fresh local food, and catch up with friends."
Hours are 4-9 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday. For more information visit montessubshop.com.
