A NEW tap room could open in Bolton as popular microbrewery sets its sights on expansion.
Northern Monkey Brew Co has applied to open a new brewery just on the outskirts of the town centre — with their popular Nelson Square bar continue to serve customers.
If approved, a new premises licence would see them transfer and expand much of their brewery assets to a unit in Chorley Street which would focus mostly on the brewery side of the business.
And it would be open as a tap room from Friday to Sunday, co-founder Ryan Bailey said.
Ryan added that he and business partner Liam Convey had been thinking of ways to grow their business over lockdown, as bars and pubs were forced to close because of restrictions.
