A year and a half ago, we embarked on a journey to open a brewpub. We enlisted the help of a fabulous chef, Sallie Lardy, and got to work researching and writing a business plan. We read industry reports, books on brewing and restaurants, gathered and analyzed census data, and ran our own survey. We...

I have been doing a tremendous amount of reading lately. To put things in perspective, I don’t really like reading. But I have enjoyed all the books I have been consuming.

The Gnome Hole Brewpub will initially provide twelve different taps to serve a variety of beer. Out of the twelve taps, four of the taps will consist of a static offering that always provides the same beer. The other eight taps will rotate to a different beer while maintaining the same theme.have a tap list! Want to see the list? Of course you do: http://gnomehole.com/2016/02/10/initial-tap-list/
