Old Shenandoah Brewery Space?

Terry was brewing there for a little while. Apparently, they ran out of money and took everything out of there. I don't think anyone else has come into that space.

 

oh man. we need more Farmers Cabinet drama stat. I miss that.

 

Well if they wouldn't have made so many bad decisions and a bunch of awful beers there wouldn't be drama.

 

Which awful beers did you have? Most of the ones I had were great from what I remember!

 

Don't remember the names, but around black Friday '11 had a stout and a citra hopped saison neither of which were very good. I know Terry brewed some great stuff at the cabinet, but compared to what he used to brew and what he is currently brewing, the cabinet stuff doesn't hold a candle imho.

 

Yeah, because with Bullfrog and Pizza Boy you could hype the hell out of those since you were relatively local. When Terry was in Philly it wasn't to your benefit to hype him then.

 

I'm as far from Bullfrog as I am from Philly, roughly 2 hours so that makes your statement moronic. Traveled to the cabinet and did not care for much of the stuff that was being produced there by Terry. Love how you make it a Philly versus the rest argument for no reason, but you have also attended Bullfrog releases. Pretty hypocritical. Hope to see you supporting Pizza Boy in the future even though its not located close enough to you.

 

I drove by. I saw a sign for lease. I couldn't see any gear, but I didn't get out of the car.

 

Relax, just having some fun and picking some low hanging fruit. You can see the optics of your negative Farmer's Cabinet comment juxtaposed with your 50 pizza boy posts in the last three months, right?

As for pizza boy, I have enjoyed the few beers I have had when I was out there a few months back. They are a bit hit or miss though, just like Terry's beer at both Farmer's Cabinet and Bullfrog.

 

Thats what I have heard to from different people gear was moved out building sits vacant.

 

True about the juxtaposition, but there haven't been any cabinet threads recently to have fun with. So rather than dredge up old ones why not have a little fun now?

 

This is true. I am still surprised the place still is open.

 

Yea surprising, but Mike from Bavarian Barbarian is there brewing to my knowledge. So they're still producing beers with the local brewpub vibe.

 

They don't have any house beers on now, and I can't recall them having anything new once they blew through Terry's beer.

 

The old SBC spot is literally right behind my apartment on Pickett. That place was completely empty last time I drove past there.

At least Pan American Bakery is still there.

 

I can't say I *really* had a lot of love for SBC. They wouldn't sell ingredients to homebrewers, and brewing on-site was fairly overpriced. The chocolate doughnut stout wasn't bad, but it tasted like the dumped a ton of Hershey's into a regular stout recipe. It really needed to be managed better, and the prices needed to be more accessible.

 

I was more upset about Dremo's closing in Arlington. I used to go there for the Washington Psychotronic Film Society nights, and watch bad movies and drink good beer. I've been missing their grilled cheese on texas toast w/ bacon & avocado and a side of seasoned fries, something fierce.
