Yes Brewing will become Westbrook’s second craft brewery and tasting room following approval Tuesday from the Planning Board.

The startup brewery will be located at 609 Main St., Unit 2, behind Mister Bagel, and will most likely open in spring 2017.

City Planner Jennie Franceschi said the unit is roughly 2,400 square feet. In September, owner John Bigelow of Portland told the American Journal that he and his business partners eyed Westbrook because it’s not “saturated” like the Portland craft brewery market.

When complete, Yes Brewing will be the second tasting room operation in downtown Westbrook. Mast Landing Brewing Co., at 920 Main St., opened in 2015. 

Following the meeting Tuesday, a post on the brewery’s Facebook page said, “Now we can start renovating, setting up equipment, and get ready for our grand opening this coming spring!” 

The entrance to the brewery and limited parking would be off Stevens Avenue. Unit 3 in back is occupied by Corey Electric.

Yes Brewing, a new craft brewery and tasting room, plans to open at 609 Main St., Unit 2, this spring.
