National Burger Day!
Friday, May 28th is National Burger Day, and we’ll be running a burger special at both locations in honor of it! The burger will be a bone marrow burger with tomato confit! More details as well as pricing will be available on the pre-shift info boards as well as our special boards. This, depending on popularity and inventory, should run into the weekend as well!
Keg and Corni Sales
This week is the first week we’re not having a Saturday Drive-Thru sale, which per last week’s brewsletter, means the way folks can get cornis and kegs changed! You can now direct people to block15.com/kegs (or even just the main home page), and they can read up on the new procedure and place their order. The main gist of it is things will now be picked up on Fridays, and orders need to be in and finalized by Thursday at 5pm.
PUB UPDATES
Grain tubs from the brewery should live in the brewhouse when not in use. If you see them by the glass doors outside, please tuck them away.
We added another table to the 100's, so we now have 4 tables available on the sidewalk patio. Table maps and host maps have been updated!
There are now 3 barstools at the bar. These are first come, first served and are not able to be reserved ahead of time. They also have a 90-minute time limit, so please be sure to mention the limit as you seat or greet bar customers.
With increased capacity and adding additional tables outside, we have decided to add a third server in the mornings on through the weekend (Friday/Saturday/Sunday).
TAP ROOM UPDATES
The tent at the Tap Room has officially gone away, and we’ve moved those tables over to the north end of the Patio on to those super snazzy grass pavers! A large umbrella is inbound to shade some of that area, but just an FYI many of those tables will not be shaded throughout the day (this shouldn’t be a huge issue, as even the patio tables come 4/4:30ish start to be in the sun as well).
QR/counter ordering has officially commenced at the Tap Room. If you come in as a customer, try to use the system so you can give feedback and help us work out the kinks!
The two new tanks on the brewery floor (near the kitchen freezer) are a bit tighter in and closer to our walkway, so please be mindful to signage/roping off/etc. from the brewery when they are working with chemicals or hot water. Make sure you are staying aware and listening to them if they have caution.
STAFF UPDATES
CONGRATS
A big congrats to James B., who is our newest Kitchen Manager! Woohoo!!!! 🎉
