Craft beer lovers, a new option heading to Battle Creek called Handmap Brewing.

They've been working on a date to have a soft opening since Governor Whitmer went into Phase 4 of the state's Safe Start Plan.

No word yet on when they will open up.

The restaurant is known for its fresh farm-to-table ingredients and even has a coffee bar.
