    Wait until they find out that their beers have been available here for years already, and they have been sitting on shelves all that time.

    Interesting. I didnt know Evil Genius got picked up too.

    Does Hootie still work at D's? His catering stuff just a side job? Man I could go for some BBQ right now (yes, at 7am).

    to my knowledge Hootie is still the beer manager at D's, and his side business BBQ is doing great ribs at the loft above D's every Sunday!!!

    Glad they finally found a good use for that space. Other than us having a bottle share there once, I dont think Ive ever seen anyone use it.

    It actually gets pretty crowded in there weekend evenings now. They also have my favorite happy hour around, it's from 6-8pm so I can actually get a few in after work. The beer list seems to have gone downhill a bit though. They used to frequently have a really good draft list (things like Saison Dupont and super fresh Flower power and Sculpin) and good cheap bottles (Bruery and Jolly Pumpkin 750s were only $15 - which is about half what they charge downstairs) - now its all pretty standard stuff.
