GEEK
Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 5:24PM My fellow proletariat, the road to completion is paved with potholes. It has been a bumpy ride this week. Projects seem to creep by and their elusive finish seems just out of reach. But we must remember that the projects that are presently stealing all our time are the whole reason The Birdsall House exists. The Birdsall House, first and for most, is here to showcase the diverse flavors of the American Craft Brewer. And The Birdsall House Boys are working on their draft system. The Mahogany draft tower is almost complete. A couple more passes of oil and shellac and we will be mounting this Beauty to the bar. And just in time, because the draft line installer (Tim) is waiting for the carpenter (me) to hurry up and finish. All the beer geeks out there should be sure to ask for a tour of the system when they come by. And for those of you that don’t know what a beer geek is let me define. A beer geek is someone that takes their love for craft beer to a hobby. Many of the beer geeks out there have stuck away in a corner of the basement or garage a little handmade system to make their own brewed concoctions. And a beer geek is definitely someone that will drive 30 minutes to stand in the 15 degree cold in a line for the newest release from Captain Lawrence Brewery in Westchester. If you read Tims last posting you will now have figured out that the Birdsall House boys are beer geeks.

Hey beer geeks, no worries. After reading the flattering article in todays Journal News I can't wait to drop in for a pint. Your hearts are in the right place keeping the Connolly's dream alive and you are going to do very well. I'll tell my friends and we'll be in!
Best wishes guys...if you can offer a local craft beer that comes even close to Anchor Steam Liberty Ale or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, you will be off to a great start with something distinctive
Become known for value and friendly atmosphere
Look forward to coming with friends and leaving Applebee’s for something better
yes good luck and am looking foward to meeting you when you open
