This is going to be a crazy week! We are hitting a huge milestone this Saturday with the start of distribution of Ore Dock beer outside the taproom. You may have noticed that our increased capacity has allowed us to keep certain beers on tap more consistently. Nick has been focusing on perfecting these quality, true-to-style recipes. While the tap room provides the opportunity to showcase these favorites as well as sharing seasonal and new brews, the favorites will be a distributing foundation for us.

Join us in celebration of this milestone on Feb 16 at an Ore Dock tap takeover at the Landmark Inn's Pour Party!

The Placemaking Myth:

People today are beginning to voice the concern that Placemaking is “counterproductive” to economic development, because they’ve been led to believe that the process is simply about cutting and pasting things that worked somewhere else into struggling spaces. But great places and strong local economies are created in the same way: by getting people together to define local challenges and come up with appropriate solutions to address them.
