Hi there, welcome back to our blog! It's been a hella happenin' week around here as always, what with all the beer brewin'* and suds slingin'!** And what's more, we finally got the nice people down at City Hall to swing by and weigh in on whether or not our building is presentable enough to open!
Working hard to meet the minimum code requirements
Even the weird, abandoned-looking lobby (complete with empty off-brand drinks machine) is lookin' downright clean 'n airy
And the answer is... Probably! We are, at the very least, a big ol' step closer - after some hemming and a moderate amount of hawing, we got a verbal greenlight from the relevant parties!*** Now, we're hesitant to make a Formal Announcement until we have a real, actual permit in our grubby little paws (since we really don't like making promises we aren't sure we can keep), but still. Holy shit. It's probably real! It's probably happening! We're shifting into Maximum Preparedness mode in anticipation of things going well enough that we'll be able to open soon (so if you're handy with a paintbrush or a feather duster and you've got a few hours you feel like donatin', please drop us a line). So you might be advised not to make any concrete plans for the Saturday at the end of the month. Just in case, of course.
We've started squirrelin' away our beer for opening day... flights and pints will be waiting for you!

You wouldn't want to miss bein' one of the first to stomp your feet and clap your hands all up in this taproom!
* Y'all are enjoyin' our beer so much, we're gonna start makin' more of it! As of this week we're increasing production so's we can keep a steady flow of fermentables for you fine folks!
** We - as always - had a grand ol' time pourin' samples for all y'all this week! But maybe next time we won't schedule multiple events on days that we also need to do production work.
*** The planning board and the building department, in this case. We'll still need approval from a small handful of other departments before we'll be able to do everything we want (because of course we need more permits, why wouldn't we), but those aren't showstoppers.
