The Unicycle of Brewpubs

Truly a one-man operation; he's the brewer---and a hell of a brewer at that---,chef, bartender, janitor, CEO...and publicist! From a press release in my inbox today:

NE Pennsylvania’s newest brewery to open Saturday

BERWICK, PA (January 21, 2008): One Guy Brewing Company, located at 328 W. Front St., Berwick PA 18603 will host its Grand Opening on Saturday January 26th. The “first keg”, a traditional German wood barrel, will be tapped at 1:00pm.

One Guy Brewing was founded by beer industry veteran Guy Hagner. The name reflects the nature of the operation—from Brewmaster to Glass Washer, Hagner is the sole employee.

“This business is a dream come true,” states Hagner. “My main focus is to brew a wide variety of fresh, delicious beers for local beer lovers.”

The brewery is very small—2 barrels (62 gallons) per batch, and initially all sales will be conducted through the brewery’s on-site taproom. Customers are able to enjoy a glass in the taproom and can purchase a growler (1/2 gallon refillable bottle) of brewery-fresh beer to take home

GOOD LUCK, Guy!

Congradulations and good luck.

Yes, Good Luck! I'd like to see a picture of the operation, I've seen a picture of the taproom in the other thread.

I forgot to mention that Guy is an eGullet member and contributor, known by his nickname "Pennbrew" in these parts.

Congratulations and Best of luck, Guy! There is something very appealing to me about the ultra grass-roots nature of your business. I wish the brewing scene had more Guys like you (har, har). But, honestly...that's true. To Success!!!
