They did a great job, definitely worth a stop. Will be even better once they get the fermenters going.

Any idea why the brewing operation is taking so long to get up and running?

Seems like it was the perfect storm of licensing issues, monetary, etc. etc. etc. From what I’ve seen they’ve recently installed their brewing equipment and should be brewing by March, so that’s good. High hopes for this place, especially personally, so I’m hoping for stellar results.
