The Newburgh Brewing Company just created another addition to their beer offerings, cans! Previously, you could only make a purchase at their taproom or using their growlers. With the addition of these cans they can now look at expanding their distribution in New York and New Jersey. You can purchase 4-packs or 24-can cases in the taproom throughout the month of November.

This is a nice addition to their ever expanding business, and more promotion of the City of Newburgh.

Newburgh’s newest homeowners Jon and Nadéne at 45 Henry have been super busy fixing up their new home. They have been doing renovations all over the home. One project that is coming together full swing is their bathroom.

They refinished this claw foot tub that took 4 guys to get up the stairs.

Home Renovation Stories

Are you fixing up your house in Newburgh? If so, I want to feature you!

Newburgh Restoration is looking for submissions for Home Renovation Adventures and Before and After façade projects of homes in the City of Newburgh. These types of posts serve as a catalyst for those contemplating restoring their own home and it also brings revitalization efforts to the forefront. If you would like to inspire others to make change, email me.

More details of what I am looking for:

Home Renovation Adventures:
If you are fixing up your home and would like to share your progress with others please contact me. Just email me photos and a brief the work that is being done. You can email me new photos as your work progresses. This is a series, so please take us along for the ride.

Before and After:
This a little bit trickier. I need a picture of your home before work was done and after. Please email me photos and a brief description of the work that was done.

You never know who you might inspire!
