MARQUETTE -- The Ore Dock Brewery is one step closer to opening after receiving some very important equipment on Thursday.

Workers unloaded the vats for storing and brewing beer down on Spring Street on Thursday afternoon.  The thousand pound vats had to be negotiated down a narrow alley in order to load them into the brewery.

Brewmaster Nick VanCourt is excited to use the new equipment to perfect his brews.

"We're going to, sort of, do a mix of things and brew a whole bunch of recipes I have ready, but on top of that, of course, we're going to do quite a bit of seasonal stuff and playing around and having fun," said VanCourt.

VanCourt went on to say that he will also be able to make homemade wine and unique flavored beers as well.

The Ore Dock Brewery still has to have the equipment installed and inspected, but they are planning to be open sometime in April.
