Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts--queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today. ˜ Edgar Allan Poe
15% of the way to the first century;
1.5% of the way to the first millennium, and going strong.
Gary Fish
History is a funny thing. As we look at ours here we see that we were here very early in the development of craft beer in America. For many in Bend, we look like old timers. But we are still a young company and we are moving.
We have had a great first 15 years and the next 15 make them pale by comparison. We have made some great friends along the way. Many of the very first customers we welcomed at the pub are still coming in as regulars. Many others feel like they were there at the beginning. We haven’t really tried to determine who is who.
Yes, we are growing again. Our production facility is under construction as we continue to try and keep up with demand. You have, no doubt, noticed the construction on our new warehouse going on below us across the street from the amphitheater. By the end of the year our current building will have changed yet again. We are looking into new territories for our beers as well. Colorado and Arizona keep coming up in conversation. We’ll let you know.
We are very pleased and proud of what we have accomplished in our first 15 years. But, most of all we are proud of you. You are the ones who really deserve the credit. Thank you for a wonderful first 15 years!
As is our tradition, the week of June 27 (our actual anniversary), that would be June 23 through 27, we will be offering our Monday locals’ pricing all week! The evening of June 27 will see special anniversary festivities as well. Come and help us celebrate. Next year we’ll be old enough to drive, look out!
