    Jon is a great dude. Was lucky enough to try some Our Daily Bread and found it to be fantastic. I would suggest anyone who loves Hops to stop by and check it out.

    I didn't make it there today, but one of my customers showed me pictures and damn! There was a humungous line that snaked its way around the whole place. Only two beers on draft: He Died With His Boots On, and In Robust We Trust, a DIPA and robust porter respectively.

    Next week it's their IPA (Our Daily Bread) and a 100% Nelson APA (Behold!). I'm sending the girlfriend out to get a growler of the Nelson APA because I'm pretty sure I need it. :wink: Hopefully she times it just right, otherwise, I'll have to put on my, "who knew" face if she reports back about a line, lol. My work hours and brewery hours are generally the same, but I live right down the street from Steady Habit/Tony's, so I have to give it a shot.

    My girlfriend's dad picked up a growler of the DIPA. He didn't sample it there, lest he ruin the surprise. Hopefully there's some leftover after the weekend, but we shall see.

    Hey Jarrod how did the opening go? How were the reviews from customers? How many of their own beers do they currently have?

    Porter and DIPA were on yesterday. Line was crazy! In my opinion, Steady Habits beers are better than exceptional. I would highly recommend going to get a fill.

    @PA-Michigander Opening went pretty well actually. There was a constant line and I think it went smooth. But I'll refer that to @CTBeerPope.

    I made it. Picked up a growler of both the dipa and porter. Exceptional beers. Line was crazy but they were working their tails off to help everyone.

    Do they sell 750's or should we bring our own?

    @CTJman @PA-Michigander my volunteers worked their asses off. We didn't know what to expect to be honest so in the beginning it was dead stop slow but as we adjusted we picked up the pace. We were thrown right into the fire and hopefully next week the adjustments I make will help if there is a line again this time. Big thanks to @CTJman for being my all purpose madman and just being one of my best friends in general. We are starting out with only 2 beers a week for the next few months. I'll rotate through a few different beers I do, mostly hop forward brews as I only have 4 2.5bbl fermenters at the moment. I do plan on increasing capacity if the demand is there. I hope people like the beer and I hope people will give us a shot as I believe we will evolve and continue to grow into something good. This week coming up we have our IPA "Our Daily Bread" on (citra, galaxy, topaz) and an all Nelson Sauvin Pale Ale called "Behold!" The following week we will have an all Amarillo Hoppy Blonde and a single hop Citra Session IPA on. For the future we would like to dive into barrel aging and some wild fermentation when the time is right. Cheers to all my fellow BA's!

    Very happy for you man, I hope you carve a niche out of this busy market. Glad to have more good beer (I assume, lol, I am looking forward to trying it).
