Plans outline new taphouse with a yurt on North Monroe Street

A new taphouse with a unique concept involving a yurt could be coming to Monroe Street.

Spokane residents Blaise Barshaw and Laurie Ann Greenberg have filed preliminary plans with the city to build Camp Taps Taphouse in the parking lot adjacent to 1889 Salvage Co. at 2824 N. Monroe St.

Site plans show a deck supporting a 113-square-foot yurt with several seats and an adjacent trailer that will be repurposed into a service area featuring several taps.

The couple moved from Portland to Spokane in 2017 in search of new business opportunities, according to a document submitted with their application for the taphouse.

Barshaw, an artist, owned and operated a small offset printing company, Brothers Printing Inc., in Portland for 23 years. Greenberg has more than 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, according to the document.
