HOTD closing this summer

Saw the video on FB.

Sad, yet understandable and I’m happy for Alan.

I’m glad he’s closing as opposed to selling, but also hopeful someone comes in and makes him a deal to keep it up and running.

HOTD IS Alan.  Without him, I can’t imagine it being the same brewery.  And I will never begrudge anyone the opportunity to retire, especially someone who’s worked as hard as he has.

I hope I can get over there and have a few more beers before it’s all said and done. That was one of my very first brewery visits and when I “randomly?” ran into him at Sierra Nevada Asheville, I had to walk over to him and just tell him I appreciate all that he’s done.
