Hey everyone,
We are in the process of making the jump...yes, that jump; lease is signed and our equipment is on a boat. It will be a family affair, for better or worse!
Once we've made a little more progress, I'd really like to start another thread (like Muddy's excellent walk-through) for everything else.
In the meantime, we are mapping out our space in preparation for licensing and construction and I wanted some feedback from this group about the taproom.
Pick your choice in the survey, and please post your thoughts. Things you would like to see, or cool things you've noticed at other places.
We are very spoiled around here (Colorado), in that there are plenty of beers/breweries to choose from. That said, we also have to stand out. We have noticed very similar themes among many places...reclaimed wood tables/walls, corrugated metal, painted open ceilings, stained concrete floors. I get why though, a cheaper construction finish means more money to spend on making the beer. Budget is, of course, a concern.
Other surveys we have taken indicate that this "theme" employed by many taprooms is not generally preferred by females (a major target for us), and some comment that the atmosphere feels cheap or unfinished.
If you aren't at home drinking your own brew, and the overall beer quality is equal, how do you choose a taproom?
