I am frickin' excited!  I drove down Rosselle last weekend to see if I could figure out where the place would be, but didn't see it.  I'll check it out again this week now that we know the address.

Idea for the taphouse:  Do a "mug club" - offer a set amount (lets say 50) of oversized beer mugs that you can sell for a one-time fee of $20 each or so, then every time someone that bought a mug comes in, they get to drink an oversized beer for the same price as a regular beer.

Nice idea Tree!


I bet you Bold City guys get all giddy seeing that shiny new stainless steel brewery equipment.

It's true, we do. I think we stood there for about 20 minutes in silence after they were taken from the truck.


Good idea Tree. I think it's something that we could get going.

Hey Xian,
    Staples are below.

Pale Ale
Red Ale
White Ale
Rye IPA

We will also be doing a DIPA (Double IPA) as a seasonal that may become a staple if it catches on.

This seems like it will be an AWESOME place and a much welcomed addition to Riverside.

I'm ready!  After reading about Inbev buying AB, give me the local stuff all day long.................I hope some of the area establishments that offer variey are smart enough to pick up a local brew as well (Jax municipal, Mellow Mushroom, etc.).

If the local establishments didn't take on the local brew, they'd be morons....

I had heard the rumors of the sale of the past few weeks but when I heard the actual sale price of AB I was floored.  The news reported something like $50 billion!  Is that right?


Johnny, I agree.  The other local establishments need to all jump aboard.

Anheuser-Busch being sold to InBev for $52B

By AOIFE WHITE and CHRISTOPHER LEONARD

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) â€" The maker of the King of Beers has agreed to go to work for the Belgian brewer InBev SA.

Anheuser Busch Cos. said early Monday it had agreed to a sweetened $52 billion takeover bid from InBev, creating the world's largest brewer and heading off what was shaping up as an acrimonious fight for the maker of Budweiser and Bud Light beers. Inbev brands include Stella Artois, Beck's and Bass.

It will be interesting to see how the aquisition plays out among the hardcore AB supporters. I also wonder what will become of Sea World, Busch Gardens, and Aquatica.

That tap room looks awesome.  I hope to come up from school sometime this fall to have a taste of that red ale.  I'm so excited to have this in the area.  Is there going to be a grand opening??
