Tally’s Take
A downtown Huntsville brewpub at 220 Holmes Avenue NE. A local beer column celebrated its second birthday in 2014 and documented it moving toward brewing on site — so the bar came first and the brewing followed, which is the usual order and almost never recorded. Later directories mark it closed but give no date, and the archive holds the final date open rather than inventing one. The room kept going: Catch 25 opened there in 2023.
