Does anyone know the hours at the Kick off..... I have a bad feeling they might not open til closer to game time. I can't get an answer.
I sent a PM to SBG and cratez.

We'll be at a brunch till 2-3ish and then going to a party at 5-6 ish but if its open we'd squeeze in a pint...

I can't believe how many places aren't open on Sundays, or have limited hours. Quite disturbing. Well we will do what we can in any event.

Ok new plan. We are not going to risk the Kick Off not being open, so we are simply not going. I don't think we expected so many places to be closed or open later in the day which has thrown several wrenches into out plans.

So, we are now headed for Grand River Brewing for 2-2:15. Look forward to seeing Bob, Rob, Matt, or whoever the heck is working.... :) And sampling and purchasing fine beer of course!

Shitty to hear you guys won't make it up here. I might go to Kickoff later this afternoon to study and watch a bit of the superbowl.

Hope you have a good visit to Grand River!

Good thing you guys didn't try Kickoff at 2. I headed over at 5 and Troy was just opening up. Hope you had a good visit at Grand River!

pee ess, I asked Troy about Sundays and he said that he only plans on being open on future Sundays if there's some sort of notable sporting event, so probably pretty rarely until NHL playoffs start.

Good time at the Judge last night, had my first pint of Smashbomb (which more than lived up to the hype btw) and good company.. Enjoy the rest of the tour guys.
