Mid-Atlantic Breweries in Planning (2024)

Does anyone else here get a rush when they see there's a new post on this thread?

I was hoping they'd be open for Father's Day, but I'm okay making another OH trip after 7/4.

 

Yup! Especially when I recognize the town. HA!

 

Lake Life Brewery "opening soon" in Penn Yan NY..

 

Was down there last Sunday morning for a little run by the lake and saw the OH sign covering up the old Young Lion sign and was hopeful for perhaps a soft opoening that day. Will have to check it out today or tomorrow..

 

Went to OH at the lake today. Upstairs is open, downstairs in a couple weeks. They had all the Green City beers on tap, as well as a Mexican lager and an English mild. Sat at the bar. Service was exceptional, attentive and on point. View from the upstairs fantastic as always. Got busy, but staff able to keep up with no issues. They say they're going to have a full kitchen soon. All the pieces already in place.Big Thumbs up!

 

Thanks for the review. Is it crazy to suggest a Finger Lakes BA meetup there sometime in July?

 

Not at all.

 

Must have been an unannounced soft opening. Gonna try stop by this weekend after work. Looks like it’s occupying the old spot that was formerly strangeways.

 

@ColdOne @Rocktire Might be doable. It all boils down to timing. Would be fun though!

 

A new brewer is coming to Brooklyn. Eckhart beer co is opening fall 2024. And no that’s not the recently opened Esker Heart in NJ. Will be a lager brewery. It’s in east Williamsburg kind of between Grimm and KCBC. I have no info in them. Instagram doesn’t have a post yet.

 

they’re hiring a chef and the job posting has a little bit about the biz:

“Eckhart Beer Co. is a new, 8000-square-foot brewery and taproom in Brooklyn, specializing in European- style lagers. With an expected fall 2024 opening date, Eckhart will bring the best of the European lager beer tradition from raw ingredients, to brewing process, to hospitality to the heart of Brooklyn. Eckhart will embrace a narrow-but-deep approach to the craft brewing movement, featuring a small range of beers but focusing on perfection, tradition, and authenticity at all levels.

Eckhart will have a fully built-out, 100-seat taproom with a full kitchen, and we intend to create a welcoming and convivial space that is a destination for casual beer drinkers and aficionados alike.

Who we’re looking for : Eckhart’s owner is a veteran of Michelin-starred kitchens in New York and San Francisco, but envisions a tight menu of simple but well-crafted dishes that can be produced easily in volume and served in a casual setting.

 

Here is a podcast with Nick Meyer of Eckhart Beer. He goes through some details about the brewery.

 

Even as, perhaps especially because I am, an extreme introvert I hate the whole idea of robots and computer terminals in place of service people. It makes me feel like I don’t exist. And I think it feeds the cultural shift towards narcissism. It is stripping us of our humanity.

and yes it does seem hypocritical to post this in a social forum. However, take note that I am confident (hopeful) that real living beings are on the other end.

 

Beep boop.

I agree. I don't like having those things. It is incredibly impersonal and I like to talk to find out what's going on with a place.
