Bagg’s square brewing in utica
Photos and captions by Melinda Karastury After five years of planning, Jennifer and Jon Earl had to put the planned March opening of Bagg’s Square Brewing Company Biergarten on hold because of the pandemic. They finally opened in June with social distancing practices in place. It has ample seating, including picnic tables and a fire pit. The beer garden highlights the city’s historic Main Street including the Doyle Building, Children’s Museum, and Union Train. It is located in the historic Doyle Hardware building (the work of Utica architect Frederick H. Gouge) in the Bagg’s Square district of Utica.
