CITY COUNCIL

Heidi’s gets approvals Development permit and liquor licence given support by Cranbrook council

SAL LY MACD ON AL D Townsman Staff

The brew pub coming to Cranbrook’s Baker Street has been given double ticks of approval by the city. On Monday, February 18, council supported a liquor primary licence and a development permit for the pub that is set to replace Heidi’s Restaurant this summer. Temporarily named The Black Dog Brewpub, the new business is a partnership between

Heidi Romich, her daughter Marlies Romich and Kamloops master brewer David Deardsell. At council’s Monday meeting, two items helped plans for the brew pub move ahead. First, council supported a liquor primary licence after the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch sought a recommendation from the city.
