Craft Beer Cellar May Be Coming to Needham

It looks like a specialty beer store in Belmont could be expanding to another western suburb of Boston.

The Needham Times is reporting that Craft Beer Cellar is hoping to open a second shop in Needham, which recently passed a measure to allow beer, wine, and liquor to be sold in stores. If a license is approved for Craft Beer Cellar, it would be one of the first package stores to open in the community. (A public hearing will take place on February 2 to see which applicants might get licenses.)

Craft Beer Cellar first opened on Leonard Street in the fall of 2010. It focuses on craft beers from small, independent breweries in New England and beyond. The website for the store can be found at http://nocrapbeer.com/craftbeercellar/ma/belmont/
