As the year is about half over we are also about half over with brewery construction. Sure, the last few things may take a while, but at some point you reach what you feel is the tipping point of being further away from where you began and closer to where you are going. Tomorrow I'm going on vacation I know that. But today, it wasn't retched hot and there was a good flurry of activity at the site. Tony the iron guy is finishing the brewery ladder/stair, Stosh and the other carpenters were adding joists to the roof to support the HVAC units and the electricians were working installing the sub-panels. Stanko, the head electrician wins the award for the friendliest and most talkactive subcontractor. He makes his own wine and made off with one of our ex-Goose bourbon barrels for this year's crush:
Meanwhile Jim and I racked our initial test batches into some newly acquired firkins. Along with five working handpumps and other assorted real ale gear, these new toys will allow us to serve directly from the cask. Wanna taste the new brews? Well then join our email list linked off the homepage. We'll start giving tours of the building in progress next month. Hope you like hops.
