Doublestein closed the brewpub for the week as the staff scrambled to make more beer. This past weekend, patrons ran though those five kegs on Saturday, Nov. 4.<\/p>\n<p>He said the brewery served more than 500 patrons the first weekend, and another 250 this past Saturday. On tap was a lineup of experimental beers like a coconut porter, coffee and chocolate cr\u00e8me de cocoa stout, a harvest ale, gluten-free trippel, a root beer brown ale and a foreign market pale ale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe way underestimated the amount of beer we\u2019d go thought, but I\u2019d say that\u2019s a good problem to have,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re rising to the challenge and we\u2019re going to make sure those who want to try our beer get a chance when we reopen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Our Brewing Company is working to stay on target for a planned grand opening on Friday November 16th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8272,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[499,613],"yoast_head":"<!--
