Salty Nut Brewery is ready to open for business at its new headquarters at the former Yellowhammer space in downtown Huntsville.

The microbrewery, which is "soft-opened" now, will host a grand opening Friday with Back Alley Traveling Bistro and solo acoustic guitarist Aaron Bradley. Salty Nut co-owner Jay Kissell said the nearly 5,000-square-foot building on 2406 Clinton Ave. West has a brewhouse, outdoor space and taproom.

The taproom has been renovated using recovered barn wood and tin from an old tobacco barn in Kentucky, while the beer garden has seating, a fire pit and chiminea.

"Once the weather warms up, we'll use the patio and outdoor stage for live music," Kissell said. "Until then, we'll occasionally have live music inside the taproom."

Salty Nut moved to the space in January after Yellowhammer expanded to its new 10,000-square-foot facility with Earth and Stone Wood Fired Pizza at Campus No. 805. The brewery is using a combination of equipment from Yellowhammer, its old location on Evangel Circle and some new purchases.

The facility features six taps: HopNaughty IPA, Hawt Blonde, #Busted Nut Brown, Imperial Moustache Red, Dahkness Stout, and a cider. Hours will be 4:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday.

Kissell said they will have food trucks every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and occasionally on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A parking map will be posted on the Salty Nut Facebook page.

"Some of the nearby businesses have no parking signs posted and we would like our customers to respect those," Kissell said. "A few of the closer spots that were available when Yellowhammer Brewing was operating there are no longer available, but there is also a lot of new parking available."

He said the grass lot on the corner of Dewey Street and Clinton Avenue will hold more than 20 vehicles and the grass/gravel lot on the corner of Fourth and Clinton will hold 50.

"We'll keep the back gate (that opens on to Hicks Avenue) open during business hours and there is parking back there, too," he said. "We are also a short 200 yard walk from Campus 805."
