In a recent press release, Tom Kehoe (left) of Philadelphia's Yards Brewing, has severed ties with Bill and Nancy Barton and has assumed ownership of the company. Kehoe is expected to move operations of the brewery to a new location later this year.
According to writer Jack Curtin on www.thebeeryard.com, the split was less than amicable. In his article, Curtin quotes Kehoe as saying, "Rather than keep bumping heads, we've come to an agreement. Bill and Nancy {Barton] have left Yards Brewing Company as part of an arrangement which will close on August 2. I will keep the Yards name and the beers and they have given me a lease on the current building through the end of the year. At that time, I expect to have a new and better brewery set up, hopefully here in Philadelphia, and will move Yards there. Bill and Nancy will, as I understand it, then use the current building and brewing equipment to operate a brewery of their own."
