Tavern
Yep, we’ll have an on-site tavern: Fullsteam R & D. We’re just now starting build-out…check out the 726 Rigsbee photo gallery.
R&D will feature:
- Fullsteam’s core offerings as well as “one-off” experimental test batches,
- local music, events, awesome movies,
- meeting space and private party rental, and…
Bullies!
You want some food with your beer? We’ll have pie.
That’s right, pie. Pie and beer. Sounds strange today, but a year for now, you’ll be craving the combo.
Alas, with history as a guide, savory pies are not all that odd. In Michigan, Pennsylvania, and England, they’re called pasties. In South America, empanadas. Jamaican patties, stromboli, Puerto Rican pastelillos…you get the idea. The savory pie has a rich and storied history throughout the world. Meat, veggies, pastry. It’s not Rocket Science — it’s pie. Affordable pub food.
Our version, the Bully, is a tribute to the Bull City. And just like our beers, bullies will have a distinctly Southern farm influence.
We’ll have more information on our bullies once we begin build-out and firm up our plans. For now, we encourage you to check out the bully blog post for more details.


Nom, nom, nom…
My mouth is watering looking at the picture. Open, open, open!
When I studied abroad in Australia, meat pies and beer were a revelation. Very, very good choice. Can’t wait!
reminds me of Oban, Scotland….a good brew and a pie! hurry up spring 2010.
