Paul Kemp (left) and Mike Kemp (right) We wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the opening of our friends Paul and Mike Kemp's new brewery in Northside - Humble Monk.  Humble Monk Brewing Company is a family operated craft brewery located at 1641 Blue Rock St.  A large portion of the brewery equipment has been re-purposed from food grade equipment and the taproom is decorated with rich dark wood, up-cycled spool tables, warm light and plenty of board games. The environment is family friendly and will surely become a Northside staple.  Mike, the brew master, has been home brewing for 30+ years and plans to brew a large variety of Belgian Style beers.  Paul, Mike's son, helps run the taproom and administration side of the brewery. Sounds great, right? If so, you can visit the Taproom on Saturday, April 13th   for The Humble Hop Print Shop fundraiser for PAR-Projects. The Humble Monk parking lot will be transformed into a beer garden with music and tacos by
