Fullsteam

Fullsteam will be both a brewery and a tavern. We’re not building a full-service brewpub restaurant — we’d rather leave restaurant operations to the pros. But we do want to have a community gathering spot…the local, if you will. Well, “the local” when it comes to beer brewed on-site. Durham’s got a ton of great locals.

For us, there’s something about a brewery’s on-site tavern. It makes a production environment come alive, for one. It’s also a great opportunity to for R&D as we test out our beers on a discerning, opinionated audience. Much better than rolling out a packaged beer that nobody wants.

If the space supports it, we hope to support the local music scene through weekend concerts. And hopefully I’ll have a chance to roll out the long-discussed “Alan Smithee Presents:” series, where we show truly awful “films” and let you, the audience, yell at the screen.
