HENRIETTA, N.Y. (WROC) — Jason Fox had been working to open Smugtown Brewery for years in Henrietta. Fox has experience in the business as a brewer and consultant.

Smugtown would have been the town’s first craft brewery, which was slated to go in the Town Centre plaza on East Henrietta Road.

On Monday, Fox confirmed with News 8 that the project is “on pause,” but still working to open his own brewery someday.

In the meantime, ROC City Ninja will be taking over the place at 2199 E. Henrietta Road.

The business looks to field an “America ninja warrior” style competition team. Their website has events scheduled for the fall.
