In case you missed it, something hot has been brewing at Yee-Haw Brewing Co. for a good portion of 2020. While it already had a strong following for great craft brews and lots of outdoor fun, the downtown brewpub took time off last year to make a few upgrades, which included an expanded outdoor space with a jumbotron video screen, more games, like ping pong and basketball hoops, as well as new brews through a collaboration with Asheville’s Green Man Brewery.
But what was most notable was a newly formed love connection via a partnership with the legendary Nashville-based Prince’s Hot Chicken, adding tasty chicken with serious new levels of blistering sauce to the menu.
In a press release, the city said contractor equipment will be set up in the area.
Traffic control measures will be in place.
The city said drivers who cannot avoid the area should expect delays, use caution in the construction zone, and observe posted speed limits for their safety and the safety of the workers.
This work is part of the first phase of Johnson Cityâs downtown water and wastewater system improvements project.
Additional information about the project and updates to changes in traffic patterns will be available on the cityâs website at www.johnsoncitytn.org/downtownimprovementsproject.
