Hamilton Family Brewery opens its expansive new brewery this weekend.
The new brewery is just up the street from the old one at 8889 Archibald Ave., Rancho Cucamonga, formerly home to Owen Electric Supplies.
The new location features a large taproom and a huge covered patio, plus plenty of parking.
Based on the crowds on closing day at the old location, it will likely be an instant success.
The Hamilton family is celebrating the grand opening of the new location from 2-10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26 through Sunday, Sept. 28.
Food will be available from Cinco con Todo on Friday and Saturday and The Burger Game on Sunday.

Sorry, we’re closed
Luxe Mexican Kitchen and Cantina is apparently closed temporarily.
This week, the Rancho Cucamonga restaurant posted this announcement on its Instagram page: We are close (sic). Stay tuned — a new concept is coming soon!
That’s it. I’m guessing more will be revealed in the weeks to come.
Also closed — permanently — is Vegan District Asian Eatery.
The former Loma Linda restaurant announced the closure of its Anaheim location on Aug. 8, which was followed by the announcement of the closure of the Loma Linda location on Aug. 23.
However, the restaurant is continuing to host pop-ups locally, including one last week in Grand Terrace (check its Instagram page for locations) and a sister restaurant, House of Fortune Vegan Cuisine, remains open at 13788 Roswell Ave., Suite 101, Chino.
