Last fall, OnMilwaukee first reported that West Allis would welcome its first brewery, Westallion Brewing Co., in April 2016.

Recently, brewery co-owners Erik and Kim Dorfner pushed the date back, but hopefully by less than six months.

"The brewery is coming along nicely, though not nearly as quickly as I would have hoped," says Erik. "As for opening, I think we're still on track for a late summer or early fall opening."

Westallion Brewing Co. will open in a former storage facility at 1825 S. 72nd St. The 6,000-square foot space will feature the brewery, tasting room and beer garden.
