The brew pub will offer a full menu that's "not your everyday bar food" and a selection of craft brews, according to staff.
The wait is almost over. After unforeseen obstacles — like Hurricane Sandy — delayed its delivery, the custom-made, 15-barrel Belgian brewing system is en route to Nevin’s Brewing Co. in Plainfield, and owners of the Route 59 eatery say they’ve finally pinned down an opening date. “It just [arrived] in the U.S.,” Nevin’s co-owner Steve Cin said, adding he expects the system to arrive by Friday. That means the brew pub is set to open before Christmas. Related: Tommy Nevin’s Finalizes Limestone Building Purchase Cin said the restaurant, which will open up at 12337 S.

Founder Heather Heavens said Spealo.com will launch Dec. 4.
Updated Nov. 27: A Plainfield woman said her newest business venture will let you shop local, save money — and give back to the community. At a time when most people are looking to save a buck or two, Heather Heavens is launching Spealo.com, aimed at offering special deals of 50 to 90 percent off from local merchants. The concept is similar to deal sites like Groupon or Living Social, Heavens said, but with a local focus and one big difference: You don’t have to wait for other shoppers to scoop up a deal before you can snag it for yourself. “The main difference with Spealo versus Living Social or Groupon is there’s no group deal,” Heavens said, explaining there won’t be a minimum number of buyers required to make a deal valid. “Once you …
