Fire damages Jackie O's Brewery

I like the tasting idea. Although, as is normal for the Central Ohio tastings, we'd need a good few weeks to coordinate schedules and such, and finding a location isn't usually fun either.

 

If anyone is interested in helping those affected, donations can be made here: http://www.gofundme.com/hddgh4

 

Up to 5400 already

 

Over 13k on that Gofundme.

 

I've shared the Gofundme page so far. I haven't got to talk to Lori yet. I'll update with any plans that Weasel Boy might have to help.

 

I donated as soon as I found the website. I plan on eating college type lunches at work so that the people at Jackie Os can do the same.

 

up to 20,000!

 

Amazing support for Jackie O's and The Union, an amazing live music venue that will be out of commission for quite some time. Many others on this block also affected. Please consider donating $1 or as much as you can afford to help displaced employees as the winter and holidays are approaching. http://www.gofundme.com/athensfire

 

I made a donation. I hope it helps!

 

I'm amazed how quickly this community was able to get together so quickly and raise so much in two days so far. I hope to all the people involved has a quick recovery.

Sounds like I will be buying a bunch of Wood Burner to help out as well. Also, mentioned 6-8 months until they will reopen the damaged side.

 

Awesome shirts supporting Union Street. Proceeds go to those affected.

It says it could be 6-8 months for the kitchen to return, but the article says the public house wasn't as badly hit as the kitchen and could be back in a couple of months. I'm hopeful...

 

I miss the pizza already...

 

Cheese curds...

 

Biscuits and gravy...

 

Man all this talk about Jackie O's food makes me hungry/sad.....not a good combo. I hope they can have the release on the 6th and if they do I hope local food trucks will help Jackie O's out!

 

Thats the plan We will know more in the coming days/week.

 

Awesome! Food trucks are good and all, but the thought of eating Miller's Chicken while sipping a fruited berliner is making my mouth water already, hopefully that will be kosher Really hope the party is still a go, been looking forward to it for weeks. Best of luck with the clean up, if you need any specific help be sure to post! I'm sure plenty of us Cbus folks would be willing to drive down for a day to help clean or whatever is needed.

 

Brewpub re-opened today. Here's hoping for a quick recovery (and the anniversary party happening!).
