The Midtown brewpub will serve up food and ‘hand crafted beer.’

After sitting empty for nearly five years, space formerly belonging to Old Spaghetti Factory, at 249 Ponce De Leon Ave. NE, will soon be occupied by Torched Hop Brewery Company.

The “brewpub” this week put signage up at the Midtown space announcing “something’s brewing.”

Christopher Bivins, formerly the head brewer at White Street Brewing Co. in North Carolina, is one of Torched’s co-owners.

“We are very excited about becoming a part of the Atlanta craft beer and food scene,” Bevins told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in an email Wednesday.

Here’s a description of the brewpub from the about section on Torched’s newly-created Facebook page:

Torched Hop Brewing Company is a dynamic and upbeat brewpub aimed at providing Atlanta with the freshest hand crafted beer and cuisine in town. Our fun and inviting atmosphere will be a community-gathering place for people to enjoy great conversation over bold flavored beers and savory menu items. We place an important focus on creativity, having fun, and the freedom to express ourselves through our products.

Torched should open in December but “that will greatly depend upon the permitting process and buildout time,” according to Bevins.
