Hop to it
While Ive enjoyed the fun that's been had in Name the Bar.. it's time the now named Foragers Drop was up for review in the public domain..
From our soft launch on Friday where the local folk from here were plentiful and full of nods and smiles, some even converted on certain aesthetic values... a solid testing of the system was had, This part of the job was very reasonable and I was not displeased using the new infrastructure, the tap system was essentially flawless from the first pour. Much love to the guys that made this all happen in a 2 week window, absolutely stunning.
We chose to open soft and quiet to find out any weak spots for the venue or the system, quite a few were found for the venue and noted on the night. I assure you those will be promptly dealt with, to me it was the following.
Issues
1: Heating wasn't tested (therefore failed) and as a result it was a bit chill.. Fix easy Replacement
2: Only had 7 of 10 taps going.. Get more couplers (shakes fist)
3: Zone seating... **** the ******* functions it's going in.. (Obligated to run the prior bookings on the venue)
4: Wine Selection... In hand
5: No mulled wine... In Hand
6: Mead selection... In hand
The big, but aside, 8 is the rest of the build and the fit out, there is still so much vision to bring to the place, not the least of which is Dr Ricktor, word on the street is that he will tell Beer Fortune and potentially offer free pints, paddles, and the odd Stein.. as well as some probably craft offensive suggestions, who can tell with carny folk...
By August 5, rest assured that our official launch day will be`..
If it wasnt for home brew and you bunch of nutters, case swaps, collaboration days and many a late nights splitting vast amounts of noxious hops, drinking an ever expanding variety of styles and a deep desire for somewhere close to have the worlds best beers available.. well I wouldn't have had to type this and for that, fellow forum members, acquaintances, friends, family.. I thank you deeply.
