Yards partners split up

Man, you just can't go on vacation; you miss everything.

Jack Curtin has reported that the long-expected Yards Brewing break-up is finally underway. Check the link for details; the skinny is that Tom Kehoe is taking the Yards name and beers and starting a new operation, while partners Bill & Nancy Barton will keep the brewery and -- according to Kehoe, since Bill's not commenting until the papers are complete -- start their own brand.

Sad day for Philly brewing, but not as sad as it could be. I hope that this comes off as planned; lots of places where it could slip.
