For Augusta locals, the weekend of July 4 isn’t just marked by Independence Day celebrations – it’s also the annual return of Bean & Bacon Days. While the longtime multi-day event pays homage to small-town pride (and Bush’s Baked Beans, which has operated in Augusta since the 1960s), this year’s event also celebrated another small-town win: the opening of a brand-new business.
Located just off of Highway 12 and Augusta’s Main Street, Nordic Brüe officially opened its doors on Tuesday, July 1. The building – most recently occupied by eatery Burrito Blvd – is now adorned with hand-painted rosemaling atop a fresh, textured exterior, with large signage out front to flag down passersby.
