Default When is projected opening?

We missed this article yesterday, and the paper's now out at the curb for recycling day (however, when he gets up Ohioboy may go out and get it).

As to the brewery in Spanish Springs, we were told that a microbrew operation is using the eqpt. in Gainesville, can't remember the name of it - Swamp Brewery, perhaps?

Can't wait to see what they offer. I brew my own beer, I have a copper ale in the primary fermenter as we speak.

Yes, you sometimes do have to leave the confines of The Villages.

Amazing news that WOB is coming to TV! This is a place where you go to drink a variety of international, quality beer. NOT a place where you find "happy hours" and $1 drafts. I hope enough people support it for what it is and go for quality over quantity rather than quantity of quality.

What's a designated driver ? Do people actually know people that have this title ? I don't think I know any.

Give me a choice of a 2 for 1 of a beer like Sam Adams or Land Shark at Cody's or $4.95 or more for one beer at World of Beer and I will take the 2 for 1 anytime.

Happy Hour at Palmer Country Club offers 2 for 1 on all their drinks including bottle beers. That is an excellent deal in the afternoon after a round of golf.

If that is where the eqpt ended up .... the fine folks at Swamp Head Brewery - Home are putting it to very good use!!

No one is complaining. The comments about whether or not customers would be coming in big enough numbers to World of Beer are not complaints. In order to stay in business, they must generate enough customers to have a profit. Can this be done without Happy Hour pricing during a part of the day or not is not a complaint.

I used to work for a business in Brownwood. The manager got a list of all the stores and restaurants that were coming within the next 2 years and Trader Joe's was one of them. So was Cheesecake Factory!

Must have been a pretty short employment since Brownwood has not been open that long with only a few stores!
