    Anyone going to this next Tuesday? Got an invite from a friend who works for their distro and am pretty amped. Lots of music and top-quality suds, I reckon.

    A crew of us from HopCat got the "distro" invite as well. We will be there, sounds like it's gonna be badass.

    longer than a half hour? Last time you were there (11/2012ish) I believe you snuck out (when they offered the tours). Never got a chance to say hello but you were gone.
    I didn't know about the upcoming event next week, Now i gotta ask my folks about this one so i can get in again through the special invite. was such a fun event last time.

    Gotta tell ya man, if you wanna say hi, i'm really not all that hard to find :stuck_out_tongue:

    But yes, i should be milling about most of the evening. If all goes according to plan, i'll be sitting on my saddle seat.

    Thanks!
    Looks like I jumped the gun. Patience is a virtue. I did it early am yesterday and I thought the auto reply said get your tickets today. A new hope.

    From the man himself Tony M. said it looks like a 1st water only test brew on 2/22 and 1st beer within a week. He's guessing Taproom by mid March.

    See you all at the Party Tuesday.

    I assume that this is a private party and us regular folk can't go? I can't seem to find any information on their site or with a quick search.

    Yeah it's a private party per se. the invitees could bring guests though.

    i imagine they'll have a grand opening to the public though.
