Birch & Barley and ChurchKey Updates Trickle In…Slowly
For a first yet another peek at the long-discussed Birch & Barley and ChurchKey, check out the ChurchKey blog, launched today with a post by beer director Greg Engert. If you've ever asked Engert a question about anything, you know the man's got some verbosity, and this post is no different. The 900-word treatise covers everything from beer selection to restaurant philosophy to food to temperature and storage. Make that lots of detail on temperature and storage — which is great for drinkers like me who don't want their beer with icicles in it, or poured anywhere near a frosted mug.
Still no word an opening date, though. I knew you were going to ask.

Probably reading too much into it, but if you look at their header image, the ticket number is 102009. 10/20/09? Their main website still says October 2009, so not a bad guess.

Brian, nice catch--I didn't see that. I'm all about some Mel Gibson-level conspiracy theory, though it could also be read as 10/2009. Still comes out to a hint at opening date (or the blog's publication date). Anyway, good eye!

The latest date from the gentlemen working at the site is "two weeks before Thanksgiving."
