According to the website, it'll be opening on June 11th - just in time to work the kinks out before OCB Week! - and will be open 4pm-2am daily.
Planned tap list for opening:
Augusta Pale Ale
Beau’s Lugtread
Beau’s Farm Table
Black Oak 10 Bitter Years
Camerons RPA
Church-Key Beachwood
Cheshire Valley Irish Red

Delirium Tremens

Preliminary bottle list on the website looks great as well. Should be awesome!

Unbelievable tap list. Never had the Farm Table, Beachwood, Dernière Volonté, NB Saison, La Trappe Tripel, or Raftman on tap before, so I'll be heading down as soon as it opens. Thanks for the update Greg.

Well, unless I'm wrong, Holy Smoke is a scotch ale too, but I agree - liked Beechwood a lot more.lister wrote: We thought it was more like a Scotch ale. Regardless it was quite tasty and we much preferred it over the Holy Smoke.

It's a great place. Badly needed in the neighborhood. Solid line up, cask too, great menu. I'd like to see it open earlier than 5pm as I'd most likely go a lot for lunch but that's a minor quibble.
