Long post warning. But please do read:
It’s been a little while since we closed up our old location in anticipation of and preparation for our move - and we have a tough update to share.
Drawing Board has lost our planned location. Despite a good-faith agreement, the building owner at 143 N. Main Street in Florence abruptly decided to no longer move forward with us, leaving us in a very difficult position. This is a real set back, and is really not the post we were hoping to make. The implications to Drawing Board are huge, and difficult to recover from.
But - we are not done. Not even close.
Drawing Board has always been much more than a brewery to us - it’s a community. If you are reading this post, that means you are a huge part of that. We’re taking some time to determine what paths lay ahead of us - but it is still our goal to reopen.
In the meantime, we could really use your help - if you see any empty store fronts and have the thought “that would be a cool spot for a brewery” we’d love to hear about them. We’d love to stay in Florence, but it is becoming clear that our little hamlet is finally seeing its day, and there really isn’t much available.
Thank you all for the support, encouragement, and belief in our community and mission. It truly means everything - especially now.
Cheers - Corey and Tonka
