My husband is a 3rd generation painter...and I am sure Columbia Paint runs in his veins. Before we were married I remember meeting him for lunch at the factory while he painted the outside. The owner of Columbia Paint attended our wedding. We were so sad when they sold to Sherwin and the plant was closed. It is exciting to see another local business going in that location and I hope they do keep some of the characteristics of the past.
That is Awesome!!!! I love to see old buildings redeveloped into something useful vs just rotting away and becoming an eyesore. Plus I really digg your Tumbleweed IPA, I am hopeful this move/expansion will enable you to provide uninterrupted Tumbleweed in the future, that spell of time you were not making it was a dark period for me :-)
To the owner: Please do not ruin the ambiance of your current tap room by turning it into a yuppie daycare like the other brewery in town did when they expanded. There is no enjoyment in having a beer with a bunch of little kids running wild.
God luck!! We'll come have a beer for sure!!
Best of Luck to you guys!!!!
