    Their brewery in Oceanside has been under demolition/construction for months and they don't look very close to be being done.

    Does anyone have any insight? Any financial issues with the construction?

    Emails seem to indicate they’re right on track. At the end of September he said construction would take 6 months, and the email he sent a couple weeks ago indicates they’re aiming for May/June for the grand opening.

    That's good. I drive by all the time (on my way to That Boy Good) and it just seems slow.

    Just be glad it's not the bay area. Then it would take 3 years to construct.

    I'm guessing more will happen appearance-wise in the last two months of construction than the first 4.

    Let me guess - you've never had contract work done for you in San Diego, right?

    The only reason Tom Nickel came in as predicted is because he did most of that stuff himself, and/or had close friends helping him with it.

    I disagree. It is so far beyond that point that it can't possibly put things in perspective.

    On the other hand, it does tell me that Jeff is a good guy, and I'll go out of my way to try his beer when it starts showing up.

    Aw man and the guy it was for actually died already. Bagby, having never met the guy, seems like a pretty cool dude from all accounts. The beer seems to taste better when it comes from nice folks.

    I'm sorry the dude died, but I still wouldn't want people vandalizing my property, if it were my place.

    Did he die today? The blog clearly says that Kenny might be getting out of the hospital this weekend.

    "There is a chance Kenny will be released from the hospital this weekend – if so, we’ll be at the brewery, hoping he makes a visit in person on his way home. We’ll be thrilled to meet him, and tell him we are pulling for him, that as long as he wants, the mural shall remain."

    I agree. As someone who deals with cleaning graffiti off of my buildings on a regular basis (the City Code Enforcement doesn't just let you leave it there), I don't see the correlation between vandalism and sympathy.

    I am eagerly awaiting the opening of this since we moved here in Oct 2012. It will be the closest brewery to our home.

    Bagby still looks like it is months away from opening. What is the story?

    They have their tanks sitting on site covered with blue tarps but the building doesn't look like it is anywhere near ready to start buttoning up.

    The story is that when you actually have to do a lot of construction, it takes a lot longer than you think it will, unless you are Tom Nickel doing something in Julian.
