We have been talking about it since last year, but we are finally about to move forward on the upper deck! This is a rendering of the top and front and will look similar to this when completed. With current schedule, our contractor will start on this in mid-November. Won't take long to do but we are super excited to add yet another improvement to the taproom! We have been giving our patrons the chance to get involved with this and other improvements since opening. We thank and love all of those who have already stepped forward and believed in us, and of course, all of our regulars who stop by and drink all the beer! If you are interested in being a part of the Debellation Brewing family, check out the link below or come see us!
Taproom closed July 4th and 5th.
CLOSED for maintenance April 26th
We will be closed on Monday April 26 for reset, maintenance and installation of our new keg washer. See you all on Tuesday!
Grand Opening!
We will be having a grand opening on Friday, April 9th starting at 4PM. The City of Richmond Hill & Chamber of Commerce will do the ribbon cutting at 4PM and at 6PM, ROCK 106.1 will arrive to do their LIVE broadcasting here followed by live music by the rockabilly band Crooked Pointer from 7-11p with cornhole and other events occurring throughout the evening. We hope to see you on Friday!
WE ARE FINALLY OPENING!
This week we are kegging 14 BBLs of delicious beer!
This week we are kegging 14 BBLs of delicious beer in preparation for opening potentially on April 8-9. Although we still have some decor and loose ends to tie up, we should be ready by then. We will announce the official date later this week. This means that all of you investors will have a private event the day prior to receive your perks, check out the digs and sample some beer before the general public gets to! We really appreciate all who have helped us get this far! That said, this final small round will be closing in a little over a week so we hope to reach our goal and get some much needed funds for our next beer batches, payroll (we are working without pay) and to prepare for opening. The delays caused by red tape and bureaucracy stretched us really thin. Should have opened in early March but here we are. In any case, the opening day will be soon and hope to see all of you there or soon after! For those out of the area, we will be shipping your perks to you unless you are picking up. See you soon!
Skal!

Equipment will arrive next week!
Some more great news! Our brewhouse and fermentors will be delivered next week! When we know the exact date, if anyone is willing to come come out and help us move them into the dry storage area, that would be great. Also might have to rent a forklift for that day unless someone has one we could use for an hour or so. We already have a pallet jack but will need the forklift to get it off the truck. Progress.....
