Intuition Ale Works Moving Downtown

[Burnbabyburn]

I went on Tuesday and I really only saw about a third of it.  The complex is huge and looks great.  I know that they will be successful in this new location.

How can they NOT be successful?  IAW (and Bold City) have made the transition to where their profitable on distribution alone.  The taprooms only serve to pad the bottom line.  And good for Ben and his crew.  I'm sure he'd say the same thing, but the amount of money that they're going to start pushing from that location is going to be obscene.  I wouldn't think he's going to lose the regular crowd,  and then you add in all of the additional walk-up traffic from events and general tourists staying downtown...  He just quadrupled what he was bringing in on King St.

Hopefully we'll soon see the same thing from E15 soon.

Unless NFL gamedays (10 days a year) bring in some ridiculous revenue, I just don't see it.  The average person who hit the Riverside taproom (as part of a King Street crawl, or just because it was a great place to grab a good beer), just probably isn't venturing that far downtown at this point.  The core already has several great bars that aren't exactly breaking any revenue records, why would this be any different, especially when it's even more isolated and inconvenient?

are you sad? why you hate?

What about the Armada? Or the Suns? Or the arena crowd? Or other stadium events? Or concerts at the new amphitheater? Or the fair? Or private events and receptions?

Is this the same space that the Dora District development was proposed in?

No, it sounds like it's space in the building they're currently in.

It is the retail space next to Manifest Distillery in the same building
