I was in Seattle this week, so I thought I’d look up our old friend Tom Schmidlin at Postdoc Brewing (http://www.postdocbrewing.com/) to see how his new project is coming along. He said he is just a few weeks away from starting production!
Here are a couple of pics:
The above is where the taproom/retail center will be. The bar area on the left wall, restrooms in the back and tables everywhere else.
Good ol’ Tom! Congratulations, buddy! I saw this on the book of faces a few days back. Really excited for him. Really, really excited to come out for a visit.
I figured I would post this, as Tom is too busy running beer lines, but we (I was hired on as the sales manager) open our taproom tomorrow, come hell or high water. If you are in the area, or want to drive all the way out to Redmond, swing on by. We will be open 3-12 tomorrow, 12-12 Saturday, and 12-8 Sunday.
A friend and I visited Postdoc last weekend and came away really impressed. I’ve been to every local brewery within 2 or 3 weeks of their opening and Postdoc represented themselves very well. It stood out with the best of them. The majority of these new breweries I haven’t bothered to go back to, but will definitely revisit Postdoc. Be sure to talk to their beertender. He’s a homebrewer who brews, to put it quite frankly, some crazy ass shit.
I’m glad he got it going pretty quickly. There is a small brewpub less than a mile from my house that has had an “Open soon” sign up for over a year.
It’s been over 13 years since I’ve lived within walking distance of a brewpub, but I’m kind of losing hope on this one.
