The beer tanks are filling up at BriteSmith Brewing Co., the new Williamsville brewery-restaurant that plans to open in mid-February.

The buildings at 5611 Main St. that last held a medical practice have been transformed with reclaimed barn wood and engineering elements. It is now a two-story space with extensive creek views that can hold about 120 customers, with another 25 at the bar, said managing partner David Schutte.

Pulleys used in one of the water mills on the site have been repurposed as décor elements. A loft holds tables with a view of the rushing creek and the first-floor expanse. Another second-story room offers sights of the dam upstream.

A massive Italian rotating deck oven with wood assist will turn out pizzas and scent the place with woodsmoke. Original hand-hewn beams are part of the building's visual signature.

Appetizers will offer standards like a pretzel with beer cheese and housemade mustard ($8), nachos ($14), and more creative offerings like smoked trout dip with pickled jalapeños ($13), bone marrow croquettes with salsa verde ($10) and housemade sausage ($14).
