Chelsea Self / Post Independent It was a sunny, blue-sky day with plenty of birds circling and chirping as if to announce Casey Brewing’s new patio. In addition to their downtown taproom, Casey Brewing has a Barrel Cellar location, further down Grand Avenue, where the beers are made and there’s a prime vantage point for the Roaring Fork River. “We opened up the taproom around Labor Day of 2019 … and while that was happening we kind of shut this down for normal activities just so we could focus on the taproom,” Troy Casey, owner of Casey Brewing, said. “COVID came and we just kind of shut this down because we had that going on downtown.”
