Updates: Tasting Room & Track 5 Release

Recently, our local Fire Inspector came by as part of their regular visitation process. During their visit, they notified us that we are not able to use the loading ramp as an entrance/exit as we have done for the past six years. That is until we install a new, controlled entrance. As such, they have severely restricted the number of employees and guests that may be inside at any given time to less than 50. We are working with them to satisfy their requirements as quickly as possible to get these restrictions lifted.
 
In the interim, we have suspended our brewery tour program and limited group visits. We are also making additional adjustments in order to provide the best service possible, while adhering to these new restrictions.

In regards to the release of Track 5 this Saturday (5/19), we will open to the public at 11:00 and Track 5 will be available at that time per normal rules and procedure. We do ask however, that in consideration of guests that may be waiting to gain entry, Patrons please limit their visit to an hour’s time or less. On-duty staff may need to cease service to guests that remain past that time.
 
We will also be featuring a Growler Fill and Bottle Sales station on the loading ramp at what was once our main entrance. Although you will not be able to enter the Tasting Room, employees will be there to assist you in selecting bottles or filling your growlers. Both cash and credit cards will be accepted.
 
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this challenge. Being able to share our outstanding beer with you is why we make it. We look forward to getting back to “business as usual” as soon as humanly possible. This also has an impact on our hard working team of Brewers and Beertenders, so we thank you in advance for supporting them through it all.
 
Please stay tuned here and via our social media feeds for further updates and information as it becomes available.
 

Tasting Room Temporarily Adjusts Hours & Number of Visitors

As the brewery continues to grow and expand, we remain committed to ensuring that we provide the best customer experience while remaining in-line with regulatory requirements. We have therefore decided to temporarily adjust our Tasting Room times and occupancy while we research further into the best balance for all.

Effective today, Monday, 5/14, we will adjust our maximum number of Patrons to fifty (50) inside the building at any given time. We will also be expanding our weekend hours allowing additional time to help offset this limitation.

We appreciate your patronage and hope you will visit us during these new expanded times.  Please stay tuned for further updates as we transition through this process and strive to provide the highest quality in service, experience and outstanding craft beer made with pride.

  • Mon-Tue: 1pm – 6pm
  • Wed: 1pm – 9pm *
  • Thur: 1pm – 7pm
  • Fri: 1pm – 9pm
  • Sat: 11am – 9pm
