In our continual spirit of not having any real news, this week we decided to show you some snazzy process photos of our bar-to-be! This is a custom job done by the ever-so-handy T-Bone, and it was painstakingly designed to suit our humble taproom. There's been a lot of excited back-and-forth about this for a while now, but until recently it's mostly been planning and some not-so-sexy structural building. But this week he began to cut and stain the wood for the bar top! Check it out:
 The first test batch o' stains. We had to ditch our original colors because it's illegal to sell them in T-Bone's home state. |  I'm pretty sure this stain is named "Cherries Jubilee" and if it isn't then I don't even know what to think. |  We said, "is that the richest brown you got?" And they said "Aww yeah. That's German chocolate right there." |
Since you can't run a blog with almost five weekly readers just by providing pictures of wood without any real explanation, we'll give you some delicious, delicious context:
This right here is our original concept mockup for the bar top (surprised it's not a hastily drawn scrawl on a bar napkin? I kinda was too, but then I remembered that working with T-Bone demands a certain level of sophistication). We've deviated from that plan a little, but the general idea is the same - the bar will run almost the entire length of the taproom, and it'll be adorned with the sharp-lookin' chevron pattern you see here. For a bit of a better idea of what it's eventually gonna look like, have a gander below (or here or, to a lesser extent, here):
With all the paperwork and planning we've been caught up in lately, it's pretty dang exciting to see other pieces coming together - especially fun things like the taproom. Here's to seeing all four (five?) of you on the other side of this bar soon!
