Swamp Cabbage – what will be Columbia’s third brewery when it opens – went quiet for quite some time. Specifically, the brewery’s Twitter account didn’t see much action for the last few months. A good number of people – myself included – wondered if the government shutdown earlier this year had derailed the planned brewery.

Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case, and late last week the brewery tweeted that things were still a go.

“Finally some news worthy updates,” the brewery tweeted last Friday. “Renovations have started, TTB license is applied for and equipment has been ordered.” No news beyond that for now, but it’s good to see the ball rolling again for them.
