Your weekly roundup

New breweries continue to pop up, old ones reopen and more news from the world of local craft beer:

• Knucklehead Brewery in Spokane Valley has applied for federal and state licenses. Longtime homebrewer John Forsman plans to start distributing from a one-barrel system and grow the business from there.

• Also in the Valley, former Paradise Creek brewer Mike Detar has received federal approval and begun the state licensing process for his project, which will eventually produce barrel-aged wild ales.

• Pour House Brewing in Deer Park also has its federal permit and is finalizing its state license. Brewer Colin Rogers will distribute his beers to area pubs on a part-time basis off a half-barrel home system.

• Moscow Brewing reopened last week under new ownership after closing last summer. Hours are Tuesday-Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m., Friday from 4 to 10 and Saturday from noon to 10.
