KickStarter
If you contributed to the Kickstarter and haven't picked up your rewards, please do so as soon as you can. We need to clear out the space as much as possible. You can text Karl at 804-339-8299 to see when he will be at the brewery. Thank you for your contribution, but come get your stuff!
Opening Date
We do NOT have an opening date yet. We will keep you posted on this very important piece of information.
Plumbing
We've had some set-backs with the plumbing in the building. This has been our major issue with opening. We had to dig up portions of the floor, and put in larger pipes to handle all the water that will be leaving the building. We found out today (2/3/16) that our plumbing permits have been approved, so this work with be moving forward immediately!
City of Richmond
The City of Richmond has been a bit slow, but we made a friend yesterday with one of the inspectors. Hopefully we can persuade them with beer and keep this puppy moving!

Graphic Artist
Rhonda contacted the VCU Department of Graphic Arts to see if anyone would be interested in producing some artwork for the brewery based on the names of the beers. We found a wonderful young lady for the job. Her name is Holly and she loves craft beer. And, she is 21 so she can get paid in beer! (At least for the moment). She wants to build her portfolio and have bragging rights for being Castleburg's Graphic Artist. We can't wait to show you what she has come up with for the Castleburg Cream Ale, Bishop's Brown and Black Knight. It's very cool.
Who is thirsty!
