“The most asked question has been ‘when are you opening?’ Well, that is a tough question. We aren't far away at all. We have a couple of dodgy handpulls and a keg line not working to sort out. We have tried everything we can think of so we have called in some proper cellar people.

“The new glass washer is arriving tomorrow as well. These are all things we need in place before we can open.”
