Logboat Brewing Co., a popular local craft brewery, has announced plans to open a second taproom location in southern Columbia, Missouri. The new Logboat Midtown Taproom is slated to open in spring 2027 at the intersection of Nifong and an undisclosed location.

Why it matters

The expansion marks a significant growth milestone for Logboat, which has built a loyal following since opening its original brewery and taproom in downtown Columbia in 2014. The new location will bring Logboat's locally-crafted beers to a different part of the city, potentially attracting new customers and solidifying the brand's presence in the region.
