    Anyone in Des Moines heard of this yet? It's opening in Ankeny soon. Going to be BBQ and craft beer. Started by a guy I know (worked with his wife for years). I'm really interested in trying it. http://www.number7brewing.com/

    I've heard but not tried it yet. Hoping to get there soon after they open to sample the products.

    On another note- Court Avenue Brewing Company got a new brewmaster. Looks like they are going in a "different" direction. Different from now but the same as before Mike took over, according to my sources. I have yet to meet the new guy but hoping he can make it work with the current diection.....if that is even possible.

    The opening has been delayed do to "Equipment issues" I have some friends who live up the street and they say the place doesn't even have drywall yet? Face book says next week but it sounds More like it could be August before there open.

    Hmm. I don't have any inside info, I've just been following their Facebook page. And it makes it sound like they will be open soon. <shrug>

    We went here Saturday night- the place is a complete dump from the way it's decorated to the people that are working there. The service was horrible. For their first night in business they sure didn't make fans of my sister and I. We had been looking forward to coming here as we don't live very far away, however after our experience this weekend I will never be returning, and neither will my sister. I would much rather eat and drink elsewhere where I will be served in a timely manner by a server who knows what he/she is doing as opposed to the staff they have in appropriately hired.

    You're basing your opinion on their FIRST weekend being open? Not the best idea, IMO, but whatever floats your boat...

    From what i have read it was there soft opening. While I saw a few complaints on FB most of the feed back was positive.

    Yeah, they seem pretty determined to fix any mistakes or problems they had that first weekend. I'm definitely still planning on giving them a try.
