Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States, the second Rose Bowl football game was played, Wrigley Field opened, Coca-Cola introduced its first formula and the first Boeing Airplane took flight.

The year was 1916, the same year a Ford Automobile Dealership opened for business in a 20,000-square-foot building at 250 West Main Street in Jackson.

The long dormant building re-opens as Hub City Brewing, Feb.9, with sold out concerts from Kenton Bryant and Jonathan Singleton.

“The brewery will open at 11 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 9,” said owner Jerry Corley, “We want to keep the momentum going, and the place looks great.”

Corley also owns Rock N Dough + Brew Co., at 16 Jackson Walk.

Hub City Brewing will occupy about 14,000-square-feet of the 20,000-square-foot facility, and will offer a full brewery, assembly, a full stage, tap room and four bowling lanes at the special events and community center.

The stage for entertainment will be about 30-feet by 20-feet, with permanent sound and lighting.

Hub City Brewing will also offer an elevated outdoors patio.

About nine different beers will be brewed and distributed across the state of Tennessee.

Hub City Brewing was approved for a permit to sell, store and distribute beer for consumption off the premises, and a permit to sell, store and serve beer on the premises, when the Jackson Beer Board met at the City Council Chambers, Friday.
