E-Malt.com News article: USA, MS: Lucky Town Brewing to open in November

Lucky Town Brewing Co., Jackson's first craft microbrewery, will open in November, clarionledger.com reported on September, 23.

What started as a hobby for brewmaster Lucas Simmons almost a decade ago has turned into a business in Midtown Jackson that hopes to be a large part of revitalization in that area.

Lucky Town beer has been on retail shelves and in bar taps for a couple years. Its own facility will allow the brewer to expand its line-up. Mainstays like Ballistic Blonde and Pub Ale will be distributed in cans once production in Jackson starts, too. New beers will make their debut next year.

"Our intent has always been to strengthen the Jackson and Mississippi food and drink community by providing a locally brewed product," said Chip Jones, Lucky Town co-founder. "Cities all over the country have been fortunate to have direct access to local, artisanal beer, and we believe that Jackson deserves a brewery to call its own. We are beyond excited to help bolster the thriving local restaurant and bar scene, and Lucky Town is committed to offering incredible beer for all of Mississippi's craft-friendly establishments."
