Proposal – Trip to Lancaster Brewery
Hey, I propose a trip to Lancaster Brewery. They have plenty of take-home growlers and sixthels. I’ve been there myself. Its quite an interesting place. The building itself is quite rustic.
I want this to be a learning experience. Can we arrange a trip and organize it before the next meeting? Anyone else interested?

Jul 28, 09 at 10:31 amThis is a good idea. Somebody needs to contact Joe Bob aka JR and run the idea by him.

Nov 02, 09 at 5:33 amThought I’d bump this idea. I have seen enough stainless steel tanks to say a brewery tour is boring after the first tour. Now if you can get the head brewer to give the tour and not a PR talking head it could be interesting. In that case you could drop tour and just have an informal sit down with brewer.

Nov 02, 09 at 8:48 amThe head brewers will let us sit in during a batch or three if we want, but it has to be on a weekday. I suggested we wait until the yahoos gawking at Amish people are not in the way. November would be great. I’m off Mondays.
Bill said:
Nov 04, 09 at 4:35 pmCount me in. I’ll take vacation to do that.

Nov 17, 09 at 2:23 pmI called the GM again today to find out when the best days are to go.
I made sure that he knew we weren’t interested in just a tour… I told him we’ve already seen a few metric tuns of steel….(I threw in a pun). But, they will give a tour and samples on a weekday.
He said the brewers are short staffed on Mondays, so Tues-Fri are the best days to sit in. He said depending on the brewers down-time, we can actually have discussions with the brewers.
I’d have to see if I can get off…I suggest sometime next week.
