Talkin' 'bout Beerz

Pretty unfortunate, I guess. The owner of that brewery is the fella responsible for getting me into craft beer, and is indirectly responsible for my current job of 13 years. I haven't spoken to him in a couple years, but we poured 3 Little Birds Berliner at my wedding (as his wedding gift) when AC was still fucking around on CCB's pilot system. Good dude, but I don't know how these financials really make any sense.

... they don't at all when you consider the cost doesn't include the building. All your revenue is going to be eaten up in rent (~$300k/year!), cost of goods and labor for 13 FTEs before you even pay yourself.

They've got a million dollars in FF&E? I'm not intimately familiar with brewing setups but that sounds like they overbuilt to me.

This will likely end up being an auction if I had to guess.
 
Well this is something. Always enjoyed their beers and food and seemed like they were always busy. Wonder what they fucked up.

Well somewhat surprisingly, this has turned another corner. My dad just received this email today. I'm sure he'll end up going on Saturday.

In December I was walking past the downtown Philly location and they still had everything out as if they were ready to set tables to start the day. I'm curious how many of the locations they will end up reopening,
