Mitch and Tami Aparicio
Same location, different name.
A little over a month after the Penn Cove Brewing Company shut down, ending an eight-year run, one of the two brothers behind that business has reopened its Coupeville storefront.
Mitch and Tami Aparicio launched the newly named Whidbey Tides & Taps Saturday, just in time for the Penn Cove Mussel Fest, in the building which had housed the Coupeville Taproom.
The business is located at 103 S. Main, across from the elementary school.
“Tami and I are super excited about bringing back the taproom we love and continuing to give back to the community that has done so much for us over the years,” Mitch Aparicio said in a statement on Facebook.
“Come by for a beer and say hi.”
His wife later chimed in, thanking all of their supporters.
“With the closing of Penn Cove Brewing Company, Mitch and I had some big decisions to make. We came to the realization that we were not ready to let go of the taproom adventure,” she said.
“We decided to open up a new business called Whidbey Tides & Taps and reopen the taproom to serve this community that we love!
“Thanks everyone for your overwhelming support and help getting ready for this!
“We have the most amazing employees, friends and customers that have all helped pull this together. We are beyond excited to keep serving everyone in this place we call home.”
