It's a banner week around here, so I'll cut the usual shuck and jive and get right to the point: we're friggin opening! It's legit and it's official - we've crossed our t's and dotted our lower case j's and now that all our paperwork is in order (well, mostly) - we can finally serve you beer!
There's hell of details to share (the short version is that Opening Day is Saturday August 27th, noon to eleven PM), but first we'd like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to everybody who's helped us get to this point - from family and friends who have provided unthinkable amounts of support (not to mention free labor) over the past months and years, to our somewhat newer friends down at city hall who helped us get this dang place licensed and legit, to everybody out there who helped spread the word about the tiny-ass new brewery that was set to open "hopefully soon" for an interminable amount of time. And Thank You, Dear Reader, for reading our silly-ass blog and listening to us go on and on about a taproom you couldn't visit (or, for those of you who have been with us for a while, a brewery whose beer you couldn't drink). Thank you.
Anyway. Details! Opening! Things! As presented in handy Q&A format because that's easier to write.
When is the taproom opening?
Saturday, August 27th at noon, and we'll be pouring until 11pm!
Will there be food?
Yes indeedy! We don't have a kitchen, but that ain't gonna stop us! On Opening Day we'll have the good folks from Bonetown Burgers parkin' their truck in our lot and servin' up some dang delicious grub. And if you don't feel like walking all the way out to the parking lot (or if you come at some other time), we'll have some small snacks available at the bar.
Is there parking?
We've got a dozen or so spots in the lot, and there are usually plenty of street spots on the weekend!
Are you T-accessible?
Yes! The closest stop is Wellington, which is about a twenty minute walk (ten if you walk like Jimbo).
What are your hours?
For now, we'll just be doing Fridays and Saturdays from noon until eleven, but we'll be expanding that as soon as humanly possible (starting with Sundays, most likey). We're excited to be open as much as possible, but before we can do that we'll probably need to take care of a few minor details like "having staff."
Speaking of staff, are you hiring?
We sure are!* We're looking for people to work some weekend shifts front-of-house, so drop us a line at [email protected] if you're lookin'!
Wait, why aren't you open on Sundays?
Short answer? Because it's summer. We currently brew on Sundays, and even with all our giant ventilation systems, it gets hot as the dickens in there, which ain't exactly a relaxing environment to kick back with a pint. But if y'all really wanna come in and grab some beer on a Sunday, we'll grab some extra fans and get in gear on makin' that a reality!
Do you have outdoor seating?
Not yet, I'm afraid. We're are supposed to be getting a patio at some point, but that won't be around until the beginning of next year's Outdoor Drinkin' Season at the earliest.** As for that lovely, inviting slab o' concrete out front, that's sadly just a Patio Tease. Among other things, that's the only working loading dock for the building and it kind of kills the whole laid-back/non-deadly vibe when a truck drops its lift gate on your table.
Do you have air conditioning?
We unfortunately don't have that yet either (it's been an interesting summer, to say the least), but we are workin' on it! ...
Can I host my private event at your brewery?
If it's after the 27th, and it's not on a weekend, sure! Just drop us a line and we'll figure something out!
If you get the chance, please take a minute to RSVP on our Eventbrite page - we're trying to get any semblance of an idea of how many people to expect. We can't wait to see you there!

* We've had a few people ask in the past, and the answer has always been some variation of "not yet," because we didn't have a set opening date (or income, for that matter), and it's kind of completely Not Cool to say "you're hired, you start at some indeterminate point in the future." But that's all gone and changed now! So even if you've been in touch before, don't hesitate to reach out again if you're interested!
**And based on the turnaround time of other projects in our fair kingdom, even that's pretty optimistic.
