General rule we see on a lot of sites is that the floor drains inevitably land on the high point of the floor!

Re: Unfiltered Brewing
I don't think I've seen a brewery floor that drains properly yet. I'm interested in seeing it all urethaned. That's going to look and function wicked.

Re: Unfiltered Brewing
Sorry I should have elaborated, the problem is the delay - No problems with the floor or the drains. This ain't my first rodeo!CorneliusAlphonse wrote:NASH wrote:The latest in the series of delays![]()

That's right! Of course a properly built brewery requires better drainage than placing troughs in the low spots even, so it was the first thing signed off on early in the planning stages. The delay is the floor guys getting this started and completed which resulted from the delayed walk-in cooler which resulted from a 4-day delay from snowstorms yadda yaddaLeafMan66_67 wrote:General rule we see on a lot of sites is that the floor drains inevitably land on the high point of the floor!


We cut drains in with the plan to slope 1" rise per 4' run with silica gravel and epoxy grout before the polyurethane floor wrap goes down. Those guys have their work cut out for them

The Resurrection is over: now join a cult that actually does something for you!
April 6, 2015
Beer, News
That’s right! It’s time to join The Fucking Club.
Level One
In your first year, you get:
1.89 L stainless steel Unfiltered growler (filled with beer).
$1 discount on every fill of your Club growler (Monday through Wednesday).
An Unfiltered glass.
A limited-edition t-shirt.
Two bottles of vintage-dated Russian Imperial Stout at Christmas (go ahead, see how long you can stand to cellar them).
Advance notice of new beer releases.
Priority access to limited edition beers.
Free growler fill on your birthday (you only get one birthday a year, Dave. Fuck!).
Early notice of special events.
Right-of-refusal for subsequent limited-edition t-shirts.
Other cool stuff as the Trinity may see fit.
In subsequent years, you get everything except the growler (you still get it filled when you sign up again, though!), glass, and shirt.
Level One membership costs $250, and is renewable yearly for $175. (As of now. You know, inflation, and all that jazz. Plus HST. Fuck!) You’ll get a chance to sign up for another year of good shit before we give your spot away.
Level One memberships run for a year from Opening Day.
Level Two
All the Level One stuff, except:
Instead of the stainless steel growler, you get one that’s way cooler. Trust us, it’s fucking worth it!
You don’t have to remember to re-up! (So if you plan to live and drink in Haligon for awhile, Level Two is the obvious choice.)
Level Two membership is $1000 (plus HST. What can ya fucking do?)
Level Three
All the Level Two stuff, plus:
• you get to brew with Nash. From start to finish, you work your fucking ass off while he yells about what you’re about to do wrong. Then you’ll take a 20 L keg (or the equivalent in growlers) of what you brewed away to drink with your crew.
Level Three membership costs $5000 (plus HST. Fucking pocket change for you!) That’s right. (And you only get to brew with Nash once, unless he decides he really likes you. And let’s be honest, that probably won’t happen.)
•
Level Two and Three membership lasts as long as you, or we (Unfiltered Brewing), do. (We think we’ll last longer. Than you, anyway, Dave.)
Renewal of Level One membership is not automatic. Your space in the Club is guaranteed as long as you remit payment for the coming year by the renewal deadline. You will be reminded via email (make sure we have a current address) of the deadline; if you do not remit payment by that time, your membership will become available for someone else to purchase.
You are responsible for the growler once you leave the store. If you lose it, break it (uhhhhhh…), whatever – you’ll have to buy another one.
Memberships are not transferable or refundable.
You must be of legal drinking age to join. (So no signing up the kids to get multiple discounts, Dave. Sorry.)
If you want in, email <attitude@unfuckingfiltered.com> and give us your:
name;
desired membership level;
birthday (you can leave off the year);
preferred email address (if different); and
most important, t-shirt size.
If your membership is approved by the Trinity (and number of memberships is limited, so those we like have priority), you’ll receive instructions on how to pay.

Re: Join the Fucking Club
This may be an unpopular opinion and might piss some people off - but I don't fucking care 
I'm seriously tempted to sign up for the first year, but not renew - there's not enough benefit for me for the $175/yearly renewal. For the free growler fill on your birthday, 2 bottles of RIS, and $1 discount on growler fills: I'd have to start drinking almost 3 growlers a week to make that worthwhile lol. Maybe if I lived closer to the brewery.....
Anyone else care to weigh in? Anyone interested in dropping the big coin for Level 2 or Level 3 memberships??

Re: Join the Fucking Club
$1000 lifetime membership sounds tempting, if you plan on sticking around HRM for a while (6+years), it will have paid for itself (or something like that).
Still unsure what I'll be doing, honestly.

Re: Join the Fucking Club
This is like the wayfares thing all over again, having to sign up without trying any product..WTF? Who are these guys? Product could be shit for all we know 

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I doubt I could make it worth my while. However, I am very excited to try some new product.

Re: Join the Fucking Club
I gave $25 to a dog I never met because his owner is a nice friendly guy I have a beer with now and then. I think I can see my way to give UnFuckingFilltered some cash to ease there startup. I usally find this pays back in multiples, No preasure Greg!
