Inspection Delays
December 17, 2010
City inspections have been pushed out until next Tuesday, December 21st, which means we won't be able to open the doors until Christmas weekend. The place is ready to rock, and we can't wait to open the doors. Just trying to get through this extremely frustrating delay.
Pete and Steve are getting the brewery all set up so we can start rocking out the first Haymarket beers, so stay tuned for updates on that as we patiently await the machine to come out and give us our final approvals.

Final Stretch
December 13, 2010
We're getting really close to opening the doors. The space looks awesome and we just need to pass some remaining, but crucial inspections (health being the big one).
It's looking hopeful for sometime this week, so keep your fingers crossed and send good vibes our way. Can;t wait to open the doors and have you all in.
Just a reminder that we'll be on guest taps only during the first several weeks, while we ferment out our first batch of Haymarket beer.
Cheers!!!!

Haymarket Update 10/20/2010
October 20, 2010
It's been crazy busy here at the brewery, but things are moving along. We're obviously a little behind schedule (we’ve heard that happens from time to time in the world of opening restaurants), but we’re currently planning our opening for the first week of December. A few construction-related “surprises” popped up to delay things over the last couple of months, but now that those things are behind us, it’s full speed ahead.
The big news is that our Federal brewing license was recently approved! Brewmaster Pete is anxious to start brewing, although we still have a little ways to go before he can get started. The brewery is tiled and the brewhouse has been moved out of the dining room and into its permanent home. The fermenters and serving vessels, which have also been collecting dust in the bar and dining room, will be moved into their new homes shortly. Most of the kitchen equipment has been delivered and is staged up in the dining room, awaiting installation ASAP. Chef Chris has been busy testing recipes and assembling his team, and we are in the midst of putting together our front-of-house team - both of which are shaping up to be top notch. As soon as the dining room and bar areas are clear of equipment, we can begin painting the ceilings, refinishing the bars, and cleaning up the walls and floors. Not much farther now, Haymarketeers…
As always, thanks for your patience. We’re beyond excited at this point, and we hope that you are, too!
Click the pic below to look at the recent photos of the construction progress!
Cheers!
