The barbecue joint will be going in Sugar Creek's current event space, and Ed told us the hope is to "make it look like we picked up the current location and moved it there." . Expect a bigger menu with the addition of old-school sandwiches and turkey and twice as much seating. . Hours will likely be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with shorter hours on Sunday (yes, this means the brewery will be open for lunch).
