Creative Loafing’s Austin Ray has an interview with Ale Yeah! owner Eddie Holley, which includes an announcement about a second location, opening this summer.

For the new establishment, which was originally slated for Alpharetta but will now be located at 408 S. Atlanta St. in Roswell, Holley says he’s shooting for a July 1 open date, but that more realistically, the store—which he hopes will be the second of three total, eventually—will open in mid-July. CL caught up with Holley to get the scoop on Ale Yeah!’s forthcoming middle child, his potential suburban customers, and what will happen if Atlanta’s craft-brew bubble bursts.

Why Roswell?

Jack writes in that he just noticed that Jaunt Salon along West College Ave has closed its doors, and jokingly suggests that the new craft beer market currently setting up shop next door, “Ale Yeah!“, might want to consider expanding and opening a microbrewery next door!

And speaking of Ale Yeah, has everyone checked out their preliminary beer list yet?  Crickey!

On Twitter, TheseGiants alerts us that Ale Yeah! Craft Beer Market is coming to Decatur.  A quick check of Ale Yeah!’s Twitter feed confirms it.

Decatur… full circle we have indeed come. Lease signed at 906 W College Ave. How sweet, the sound. Deets to follow.

In case you’re wondering, that seems to be the address of the strip where Avellino’s and Isabella’s are located.

What is Ale Yeah! Craft Beer Market?  From their website…

Our mission is to provide to all residents of the Metro Atlanta area the wonders of the art of beer, the magic of a beverage not simply as a means to an end, rather a process of profound beauty that through innovation and creativity can be enjoyed with cuisines from all around the world or simply in a social setting with friends and loved ones.

We will showcase an abundance of American craft beer as well as varieties from around the world that exemplify liquid perfection. We will carry bombers and also give people the opportunity to “build-your-own” 6-pack. We will also offer fine cheeses, cured meats and chocolates that compliment the experience of a perfect pint.

Also of note from their Twitter and Facebook feeds, it sounded as if the original plan was to open in East Atlanta Village, but a “zoning snag” didn’t work out for one reason or another.  So instead they’re coming to Decatur.  An all too familiar story and one that benefits Decatur every time!
