We're BACK from across the pond and just in time for today's Huxley Farmers’ Market!!! We'll have beer in-house as well as a select amount canned and ready to go!

(All signs point to a working cash drawer/POS this Thursday—thanks for your patience last week and a shout-out to Sue & Jess for navigating it! Me being 7 hours ahead of Huxley didn't make for easy conversations to troubleshoot😴)

Reminder that we will be closed this Saturday, June 20. Should be minimal interruptions to our Thursday/Saturday schedule after that for a bit🤞

And after much delay, we are back at it. Thanks to our good friends Fenceline Beer Lab, we have a commercial kitchen to work out of.

We have lots of plans, including reviving deliveries and doing pick-ups, but we are starting out back with the good folks Iowa Food Cooperative. Pre-orders are open now for next week's pick-up; visit their website for details on membership and ordering.
