Anyone tried these guys yet? Opened yesterday (Fri 4/3) and I tried ordering online yesterday and today and they've sold out within minutes of opening. I guess that's a good sign.

Haven't tried it, but we will soon (walking distance from the house). Been looking to it for a while. Interesting times they find themselves opening in. Seems like they are doing well based on Instagram

Nice folks, supposed to be good beer, no way am I dealing with that insanity this weekend.

Trying to order online right now and it's an hour wait for 4-pack of crowlers and food unavailable. Insanity indeed. LH is screaming for a place like this. They will kill it.

Some of my good friends are the architects who designed that space. I'll definitely be planning to check it out!

We tried to order at 4:45 and it was shut down due to demand. I'm happy for them, they've been thru it to get that place open and when it's finally ready there's a frickin pandemic! They'll get plenty of my money eventually since i can walk there.

No. They've had a couple of "pop up" events, but they weren't selling at OFest.

Why did it take them forever to open? Seemed like construction would never end on their spot in the shopping center.

Their SBA loan got caught in the gov't shutdown a while back, which delayed everything else.

I hope they make it, but it will be tough. Atomic Pie closing will help though.

Gotcha, that's too bad. Pretty ****ty timing if they finally open when all this started going down.

Craft brewery within walking distance of thousands in LH would have to try hard to fail I'd think.

This is really good beer, by the way. Their coffee stout had good flavor but wasn't over-powering, their lemon "saison" wasn't overly sweet like I was afraid it would be, and their light lager was really fantastic for a lager. No odd aftertaste like you get with many of the craft brewery groups. I'd put them on par with Peticolas and Community, who each produce a top-10 favorite beer for me.

I'm drinking all three tonight. We grabbed pizza from there.

Their Reactance IPA might be my favorite beer of all time. Certainly Top 5. I've had about 6 of their different beers, with all being at least "good", most "quite good", and a few "outstanding".

Went today for the first time after doing a decent amount of take out.

Very good beer and pizza. Place was pretty jammed. Only workers wearing masks.

Patio was pretty warm and not much is shaded.

Patio needs more shade. Every beer I have had is at least very good. Pizza is excellent.

Ever since I clicked on this thread, I've started seeing Facebook ads for Fundopolis soliciting investments in Vector Brewing. Anyone know anything about that opportunity or what you get if you invest? I'd love to chip in for the minimum just so I can tell people I'm a bar owner in my spare time.

They take 8% of their revenue and pay it to investors, you get your money back up to a 1.5x multiple. It can take up to 5 years. It is paid annually. Assuming they survive, worst case scenario would be getting nothing back until the end of the 5 years and then getting it all at the 5 year balloon payment date which would work out to an ~8.44% annual return (1.0844^5=1.5). Considering you will actually get your money sooner than that, its an even better IRR.

Thanks! While that $50 gift card is tempting if I give them 5 grand, I think I may just stick to the free koozie territory.
