    Three Notchd in Charlotesville, VA used to be Splathouse, an indoor paintball arena. I worked there as a referee while I was matriculating at UVA during the mid 90s.

    Anyone else used to work at a future brewing location?

    PS: best ppl to referee paintball for... ROTC ladies.

    How about I used to *drink* there before it was a brewery? Mickey Finn's in Libertyville, IL was the first brewpub in Lake County, Illinois, but it was a cozy little tavern with great burgers before the new owner turned it into a brewpub.

    It's established itself as a go-to place, but I still remember the small, quiet tavern with a tiny grill in back.

    One of the breweries near me is a stone's throw from where I used to live (literally, I could have thrown one from my front door to the parking lot.)
    At the time, though, it was a small hardware store. Closed while I was still there, I don;t remember if the plans to set it up as a brewery were announced when I still lived there or just after I moved.

    I used to work for an insurance company that had a division in the building that became Arcadia Brewing (now closed), although I was in a different building down the street.
