Latest Events & News

We’re anxiously awaiting our equipment at the end of this week, and by “anxiously awaiting,” we mean “working day and night to get everything done so we have a place to put the equipment.” In preparation for the arrival, we’ve been cleaning and painting the entire building. All of the construction–especially the concrete cutting–made quite a mess, so a thorough pressure washing was the first step. We then had to edge every cinder block  in the 6,000 square foot warehouse with primer, apply two top coats of the primer, edge again with paint, and apply the final topcoat of paint. It felt like an endless job, but when we finally finished, it felt worth it, as the place (almost) sparkles now! Thanks to Kool 108, Pizza Luce Downtown, and North Loop Wine & Spirits for fueling/motivating all of our work.

Other preparations in the past couple weeks have included contractors finishing the entry stairwell, framing and sheetrocking the rooms, and applying the epoxy flooring in the production area. The epoxy floor is non-porous, food grade and cleanable. Best of all, it slopes to drains, which makes cleaning up after a brew into a simple task.

We’re almost there! The equipment is scheduled to arrive on Friday — yes, this Friday–so be sure to keep tabs on the developments via Facebook or Twitter.
