Multi-room in a familiar address Outcast took over the roughly 10,700-square-foot building once home to Flying Boat Brewery and King State's The Brutalist. Inside you get a main taproom for craft beer and hard sodas, a specialty craft-cocktail lounge, and a wine-and-bubbles room, so mixed groups do not have to split up. Outside, a large covered pavilion, outdoor stage, walk-up bar, yard games, and food-truck pads (with power so generators stay quiet) round out the "backyard." Local artist Ashley Brown's murals of Roscoe the raccoon set the come-as-you-are tone co-owner Richie Hamm has talked about since opening.

The New Orleans hazy Double IPA leans on Citra, Mosaic, and Centennial with blood orange for an extra juicy citrus hit, clocking in around 8% ABV. What it is Unholy Roller is one of Urban South's bolder seasonal returns: hop-forward and hazy, with blood orange riding the citrus character already in the hop bill. Co-founder Jacob Landry said the beer lets the team put an Urban South spin on a style people already know, bold and a little unexpected. Availability is limited while supplies last in 6-packs and on draft across Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida (Urban South's beer finder is the practical locator). The brewery's own beer page also flags seasonal 4-pack cans for the New Orleans home market. Why go If you already chase Urban South around the Gulf South, this is the seasonal DIPA to hunt before it disappears. Pair a can run with a stop at the New Orleans taproom when you want the full house pour. Bottom line Unholy Roller is back for fall.

The Williamsport room runs roughly 10 taps with indoor seating, an outdoor patio (firepit and cornhole included), and a full kitchen partnership: Anomaly and Rebz operate as two businesses under one roof. Rebz leans Detroit-style pies (Hawaiian, Pickle Ranch, bruschetta specials) plus cheesesteaks, pretzels, and fries. Owner Nicholas Oliver told northcentralpa.com that Riepstine's regulars showed up day one, and he hopes live music lands with the October 17 grand opening. Hours reported after opening: Wednesday-Thursday 4-9 p.m.; Friday-Saturday noon-9 p.m. Note: the taproom planned a Sept. 27-Oct. 3 close for Bloomsburg Fair pouring.
