Prosper Brewing, a nano brewery at 72 Webster St., is ready to go. Owners Timothy Berg and Kevin Whipple had hoped to have taps flowing by the end of the year, but they are still waiting for their liquor license to arrive.

Prosper will brew and serve such beers as porter, stout, blonde ale, orange pale ale, Vienna lager, Munich Dunkel and maybe a sour Berliner Weisse. Beers will be available on tap and by the growler.

"Personally, I feel that too many breweries often focus on IPAs and in fruit beers and have lost sight of a lot of the more traditional beer styles," said co-owner Timothy Berg.

The brewery fills the former longtime site of Hodgepodge gift shop, which was most recently home to the Uncorked wine bar.

Prosper will have 12 taps, two of which it hopes to reserve for hard ciders from a producer it will partner with if it can get the proper licensing. That same producer would also supply wine.

Prosper's tasting room, which seats 40 people, is situated with the brew tanks in full view. Its kitchen will serve a small but unique menu that includes sauerbraten and pierogi.
