Pints to pour at Arbor Crest

Rick Bonino

It’s official: Arbor Crest Wine Cellars is in the beer business.

The Spokane Valley winery received final state licensing approval today and will start serving house-brewed Square Wheel beers at its concert event Sunday at the Cliff House, featuring David Raitt & The Baja Boogie Band.

“We’re good to go. I’m excited about it,” says John Mielke, a member of the family that owns the winery who oversees the brewing operation.

Three beers will be pouring on Sunday: a blonde, a red and an IPA.

Arbor Crest has planned for a few years to add house beers to its tasting room lineup to broaden its appeal.
