    I am headed up there on Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends. If anyone wants to meet up there, let me know. I hear good things, looking forward to trying their beers for first time.

    We will likely get there between 1 and 2 and stay until 6 or so.

    Looks like we also will be going (fingers crossed as I am on call). So far it is Jeffboyardee123, sandman, and perhaps doomXsaloon, and a couple other non BA's as well. Can't wait to see the new digs.

    I was there last week. They had 3 of their house beers up and 13 guest taps (this ratio will flip flop in short order from what I understand).

    And they had a starter food menu, as well. More to come...

    Thanks for the update. Damn, I hope they have more than 3 on Saturday. Was really looking forward to trying Shotgun Willie.

    If it's there, you will not be disappointed.

    I just called and got the following good/bad news:

    1) They only have 2 of their beers on currently; the berliner and CREAM. The woman did say she "wouldn't be surprised" if they add more today though.

    2) They do have TV's on the 1st floor (for football purposes), no food down there anymore though. If you want to eat, you have to go upstairs, sans TV's.

    3) Full bar (for my gf)

    Crap, I am hesitant to go for just these two beers. I am thinking of pushing to next Saturday instead. Thoughts for those planning on going?

    Thanks for calling sandman.

    No prob. Just wanted to make sure it was a good day to go before we all caravan down there.

    My thinking is that it may be best to call tomorrow around noon/1, depending on what time people want to meet, to see if it's worth it to go. I've only been 4 or 5 times, but everytime I went they had atleast 5 of their beers on and 2 or 3 of those being of the IPA variety...

    I'm 50/50 on next Saturday. I may have a commitment.

    My caravan would be training it up, so was planning on leaving here around 11am. Not sure if they are open that early. Maybe one last call tonight to see if the tap list has changed today. If not, not going to go up there, my whole point was for their IPAs.

    That's really early. If I go, it'd be 2-3 at the earliest.

    The call tonight around 8:30 is a good idea though.

    We were going to be arriving at 2pm or so. I live on Long Island, will take LIRR to city, then MetroNorth to Peekskill. But will call tonight and depending on what they say make the decision.

    When I was there last week, owner Keith was telling me that a good few taps more would be added shorty.

    Do yourself a favor and get him on the phone and ask 'when'. Delaying a week or two in order to get a full spread of house beers is IMO a better plan than not.

    I will be calling tonight to find out the good or bad news and don't plan on going tomorrow if there are only CREAM and Zeitgeist on tap as the home beers.
