We've Got (Somewhat Finished) Walls, La-Dee-Dah...

3/25/2015

0 Comments

 
Well hello there, cats and kittens! Have we got (part of) some news for you! Now that we've got (some of) our permits and the snow is (largely) melted, construction has (more or less) really gotten underway! As you can (kinda) see from these pictures, we've finally got (most of) our walls put up, there are (partial) doors installed, and (some of) the plumbing is being installed as we speak. We've even got (temporary) lighting, which makes it (substantially) less terrifying to go there at night! 

Picture
Welcome to Bone Up Brewing Company, where we promise good things are just behind this (somewhat) terrifying entryway.
Picture
How cozy! Don't you just want to kick back and have a pint in here?  Just look at the ambiance!
Picture
Pictured: major progress.

Seriously though, we never expected that we'd be getting super amped about plumbing and drywall, and yet here we are. Our corner of this beat-up old industrial building is undergoing a pretty huge transition and it's hella exciting that we (mostly) get to watch it happen!

Picture
Your taproom awaits (bar's going to be on the left)!

Taprooms! Ambiance!

Now that our federal permits have been approved and we're one step closer to becoming a Real Brewery, we decided to knuckle under down to the brass tacks and storm our brains for some conceptualizations of the most important part to any Legitimate Business: the taproom!

We're applying for a Farmer Brewer permit, which means once our doors swing open we'll be able to apply for another permit that will eventually let us sell you beer by the pint. How exciting! More paperwork! At this point, by the time we're ready to make beer we might accidentally sign the mash tun in triplicate and mail it to city hall.  

But anyway, we've got some fun ideas for the Bone Up taproom, since everybody knows that a snazzy ambiance makes beer taste better. And nothing says snazzy like a former industrial laundromat! Seriously though, we've put a lot of thought into how we can best make our taproom the sort of place we would drink at, not unlike Orwell's The Moon Under Water (except that in pretty much every way it will be completely unlike The Moon Under Water). Check out some of our concept sketches below:

Picture
View from the back of the room - don't those trees look nice? (There probably won't be any trees). Of note: game shelf, local art on the walls, and honest-to-hops wood flooring! Y'all like those things, right? P.S. If you're a local artist or know a local artist who would like to hang work for sale on the walls, we're into it. Contact us for installation space starting this summer.

Picture
Partial view of the bar, which will run the length of one (long) wall, seats about 16. Displayed: the head brewer's glass collection.

Taps and growler fill station, short end of the bar. We might not actually let you sit here.

Wedding! Elvis! Permit! Tramapoline!

We fully expected that we wouldn't have any brewery news for you this week because all of our employees have been busy getting married. 
Picture
That's right, drive-thru weddins. And that ain't even the classiest part.
OK, that's technically incorrect, since "employee" implies that we're getting paid. And we also happen to be lucky enough to know some people who have provided incredible amounts of help and support without any expectation of payment (and who we cannot possibly thank enough), but we're loosely classifying them as "volunteers" (though you can feel free to substitute the word "family" or "suckers" as you see fit). 

Picture
Pictured: employees, volunteers, our entire support system, and - of course - Elvis
But I digress. Jimbo and Jared are married now! And that's not even the extent of the huge excitement around these parts: our TTB Application got approved! We're federally recognized as being Legitimate Brewers!
Picture
Pure. Class.
Now, we're still a ways away from being able to make delicious beers for you, but this is a Huge Deal. TTB approval is easily the third biggest milestone on the road to becoming a Real Brewer (the first two are raising money and finding a suitable space to rent, and we've done those), so now the only big things standing in our way are state-level permits and some renovations! Building renovations are usually pretty quick, right?

Shout out to Eddie Powers, the best Elvis impersonator/wedding MC we could have hoped for.

Government Fun!

Finally, we have something to talk about other than all the fine products that we have available for purchase in our very own online store! Well... sort of. We finally heard from the TTB! The TTB, for those of you don't know, is the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (formerly known as the ATF), and they're in charge of taking some of our money every time we make beer! It's a little more complicated than that, though - they're also in charge of making sure our brewery is fit to brew in, issuing our license, approving/rejecting beer formulas, and approving/rejecting beer labels*. It's been a while since we last heard from them, but considering the huge range of stuff the TTB does, we won't take it too personally (not that we have a choice).
Picture
On a completely related note, we got our finger bones on a fancypants branding iron.
Now that we've stopped giddily jumping up and down about the fact that the TTB noticed us, it's worth mentioning that they only contacted us to request a couple specific pieces of information. But hopefully that's all they need and once we collect our data and send it over, they'll approve our permit! Or, just as likely, this is the beginning of a months-long back-and-forth that will have us answering slight rephrasings of the same few questions endlessly! I believe I've used the phrase "whirlwind of excitement" to describe this sort of thing before, and I think it still fits.
*You might be wondering why, since their duties are kinda all over the place, there aren't separate agencies that handle all those different tasks. There are! That list includes the IRS, the FDA, OSHA, the health department, the DOR, the town building department, and the ABCC. But don't worry, we've got to follow all their rules too (many of those rules also center around how much money we are to give them, and when).
