Just 18 months after opening, the owners of St. Albans’ 14th Star Brewing are moving from their cozy Lower Newton Street digs into a far vaster space — the former St. Albans Bowling Center.

Co-owner Steve Gagner and his partners have signed a 20-year lease (from Pomerleau Real Estate) on the bowling alley at 133 North Main Street, which opened in 1958 and closed last July. The 14th Star crew plans to open a 2500-square-foot taproom and a 13,000-square-foot brewery in the space by next summer. “The plan is to have a place where people can come and enjoy some of the world’s best beers,” says Gagner, who will devote a few of the pub’s 24 or so taps to other beers from around the state.
