Ghost Train Brewing Co. should be open by late summer, owner Taylor DeBoer said.

The brewery got approvals from the Birmingham City Council and Design Review Committee this week, and DeBoer said he's waiting on some final approvals, but hopes to start construction Thursday.

Ghost Train Brewing is in the process of opening its first tasting room at 2616 3rd Ave S. - the former space of Cahaba Brewing. Taylor DeBoer is a former partner at Cahaba Brewing.

Renovations of the building include a 25-foot bar and two new ADA-compliant bathrooms. Ghost Train will have a 10-barrel brewing system.

"Our equipment is en route to Birmingham right now," DeBoer said. "We're so excited."

Ghost Train is currently contract brewing at Crooked Letter Brewing Co. in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, but will brew in-house once the project is finished. The brewery already distributes throughout the Birmingham retail market through Birmingham Budweiser.

ServisFirst Bank is financing the project.
