Brew Hut Raising Weekend - 4/25

[EdWort]

Well, this is it. It's on the calendar and I'm flying my brother-in-law architect/carpenter in for his help. We should have it under roof by the end of the weekend. Yuri is swinging by to help as are a few other friends. I'm picking up a keg of NxNW Pale Ale just in case they go through 10 gallons of Haus Ale.

Ground Preparation starts April 24th.

I'll post progress pics here.

 

[olllllo]

If my Raleigh trip falls through and you need someone to swing a hammer, I can be there FRI night.

Looks like you have enough room for me to pitch a tent.

 

[jdoiv]

Hey Ed,
Any plans you can post up? How big of a hut are we talking here?
Good luck with the build.

 

[conpewter]

That is really cool! I wish I could get in on it, but... bit of a drive from the chicago area down to you. Good luck and be safe!

 

[EdWort]

It's going to be 12'x20' minimum with a gabled roof. Brewery in the back that can brew rain or shine, day or night. Up front is the Bierstube with 4 faucets coming from the cold room. Bee Cave Brewery becomes reality, just at an amature level.

 

[jzal8]

wow can't wait to see...hoping for copious documentation

 

[blacklab]

Sounds sweet, Ed. I have similiar ambitions, and am excited to see pics/plans of your brewhaus!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I can't wait to see some updates!

 

[Beerthoven]

You are living the dream, Ed! Living the dream!

 

[zoebisch01]

If I lived down in texas I'd give you a hand building it.

 

[nathan]

I love framing! It's the most rewarding part of building for me. I wish I was close so I could lend a hand.

Are you pouring a slab?

Take lots of pictures!

 

[CatchinZs]

A little inspiration.

 

[Atl300zx]

A little inspiration.

I didnt know Ed had oompa-loompas working for him...they're so tiny

 

[jezter6]

At least there's a pole for some hired help to dance around.

A littel off topic, but in New Westminster (near Vancouver) there is a brewpub that is a strip bar. When visiting my brother we go there for the uh, fine.. beers.

So, you gonna post any plans of your brew house, Ed?

 

[jezter6]

Damn! My roommate and I have been planning the brewery, strip club, hotel and casino and thought we were original.

I thought of a floating strip club in Victoria's inner harbor, but I really doubt I could get approval.

Word...





No one else caught this?

I caught it. Only 4? I guess I just didn't want to embarass Ed.

J/K.

I guess I could bump it to 8. Hmmm, 8 faucets. Let me see..

Apfelwein
Haus Ale
Kolsch
Oktoberfest
Bavarian Hefe
IPA
Robust Porter
Dry Stout on N02

Yeah, I think I could do 8. That would cover my range pretty well.

One of those cafepress tiles with your BeeCave labels and that would be pretty damned sweet.

 

[Spyk'd]

Er...olllllo,

The operative words there were "cold room", which I understood to mean "walk in cooler".




I'd take a cold room for 4 taps anyday...of course my bar with have at least eight...just say'n!


:cross:

 

[BeerCanuck]

Sounds like a fun project.
I always have had a dream of getting a parcel of land way up north and setting up the ultimate garage (3 car + loft area).
It will be nice to see what you come up with

Bookmarked and Prosted

Cheers

...nope...not going to touch this one...tempting as it may be...

Congrats Ed. There is absolutely nothing like your own personal brew cave.

For those of you that this sounds like a new idea to:

He's building a fricking brewery. I had to figure out some way to bring him down to our level.

I'd love to have that, but it is out of my price range. I'll spend the difference just finishing the inside of this one. SWMBO will make it Bavarian looking somehow. And this sign gets hung on the wall above the taps.

Free Beer, that's Tomorrow.

 

[Spyk'd]

I'm sure it will be fabulous, Ed.



And, if it wasn't like a three day's journey from Mississippi, I'd be there to help you out...


...finishing off kegs...er......too!

I will be in San Antonio this coming Saturday (Apr 12) thru next Wednesday (Apr 16) for work, but if you need any help let me know and I might be able to grab a rental car and make the trip.
