After more than a year of planning, building, dreaming and brewing, Collusion Tap Works is nearing completion and will open soon in the Royal Square neighborhood of York.

“It’s about time,” Collusion co-owner Jared Barnes laughed.

Barnes, a brewer for six years, hasn’t been able to brew beer since he left Wyndridge Farms in Dallastown while planning to open Collusion Tap Works.

“Getting back into a brewery is essential for me,” Barnes said. “I’m ready to get back into the fold.”Barnes studied under the World Brewing Academy — a joint program between Doemens Academy and the Seibel Institute of Technology in Chicago — where he received his Master Brewer’s certification.
