Shooting Creek Hearing Postponed

Last week I reported on an appeal filed by opponents of Shooting Creek Brewery in Floyd County. Today, The Roanoke Times is reports that the hearing has been postponed:

Owners of the nascent Shooting Creek Farm Brewery requested this week that the hearing before the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control in Richmond be continued until December, ABC spokesman Phillip Bogenberger said Wednesday.

Brewery co-owner Brett Nichols requested the continuance "in an attempt to resolve the matter with the objectors," Bogenberger said.

Does that sound as if the sides are talking? Maybe, and that would certainly be desirable over continued hearings and wrangling.
