NOBODY better appeal this!

This brewery is a dream come true for my family. We love sour beers and we are thrilled a brewer is taking this project on here in our neighborhood.

Can’t wait. I wish them the best of luck getting everything together to open by the end of the year… please

If the cow stays, I’ll be a patron.

More beer is a good thing. The steer (no bull!) on top of the building is a familiar landmark. I sure hope the new owners find a way to keep it there. It will earn them good will and make their business readily identifiable.
