Saw that. They missed the new brewery in Black sheep (Clock Tower?), unless that's no longer happening.

Last I saw they had a bunch of equipment there, so I assume it's going to happen. My guess is that the builder got assigned different priorities (building out some apartments maybe) in the building.

I am betting on paperwork issues on the Black Sheep but have no insight there. They have the space and equipment, but may have to get all the proper approvals yet to start making beer.

Equipment has been there for a while, since September I think. I get paper work is a hassle, but I guess I'm surprised it's thislong and they haven't said anything.

My insider source says that they just cleared their paperwork @ Clock Tower, so they should be gearing up soon.

Sounds like a lot of incentive for the Club to re-plan that roadtrip to visit IA breweries!
