    We'd love to have whomever can make it out. If you do come out please grab me and say hi. I like personally thanking people for coming out. I'll be the tannest guy there, I'm going on vacation Friday so don't judge me lol.

    I'm not into grabbing dudes at the bar, but I may come find you to say hi.

    If I make it, I'll be the guy who looks fifteen.

    Really, you can't miss me.

    Random question: Why is it that some places I.D. at the door, but then I.D. when you order a drink anyway? Do they think I snuck in through the kitchen or some shit?

    P.S. Brandon nailed it. Boat Works isn't a pretentious bar full of d-bags where you have to wait an hour to be served.

    It should be fun. I'm always nervous because you never know what to expect. I'm just grateful people come out and share their night with us. I'm glad shorts took a chance on us 3 years ago by giving us shorts cake. From there it's taken off into that shorts will always have at least 1 handle all year with us. When we expand our draft, they'll have 5 all year (rotating). Macomb County is generally left out when it comes to craft, oakland always get everything. We're trying to change that. I'm working on 3 more events besides greenbush before the years over.

    Hopefully summer. All depends on the city. We're remodeling the kitchen and doing draft then. If not this summer, next year. It's an expensive process. 24 taps is the goal. We've got great ideas for events with that many drafts

    Sounds great, gonna try to make the drive out to SCS.. Brian, do you guys do sampler trays there? Just curious. I'd like to have about 4 off that list, but I dunno if I can swing 4 pints on a Monday night :confused: Might have to narrow it down.
