EDITOR: I read with interest the article
“Dueling brew pubs eye police station” in the Nov. 4 edition of
The Times. Having absolutely no personal interest on how this , or
any competition for the police staton property, turns out. I would
like to make one really basic observation. The Acevedos plan to
“brew handcrafted specialty beer
s and their popular non-alcholic root beer and special sodas” on
the site.

I read with interest the article “Dueling brew pubs eye police station” in the Nov. 4 edition of The Times. Having absolutely no personal interest on how this , or any competition for the police staton property, turns out. I would like to make one really basic observation. The Acevedos plan to “brew handcrafted specialty beers and their popular non-alcholic root beer and special sodas” on the site.
The Page Holdings LLC group plans to sell “brews at a potential Morgan Brewing Company … (which) would be made off-site”.
My observation is that definitions seem to be in order. To wit: a brew pub brews on site; a bar and grille sells products that may or may not include anything made on the premesis. In this case LLC group plans to brew nothing on-site.
Bottom line: Clearly, the Acevedos have applied for permission to establish a brew pub, whereas the Page Holdings LLC group intends to open a bar and grille.
In my opnion, I think a true brew pub would add significant flavor and personality to Morgan Hill’s downtown – another bar and grille would be just another bar and grille.
