I live and work in the area, and a...Nice title. :)<br /><br />I live and work in the area, and am pretty thrilled to have yet another craft beer choice available to me.<br /><br />That said, since I live and work in the area, I'm concerned for them about the location choice (not that there's much choice in the area!). The last two (three, sort of?) businesses since New Road didn't survive, and I'm pretty sure much of it was lack of visibility (er, location). And some of it was timing.<br /><br />The building is just off the main path, behind a diner. It's odd-looking, and the parking isn't obvious. I hope Collegeville allows them an actual sign on Main Street for advertising. They're doing this big "revitalize main street" campaign, so I would HOPE they can do this.<br /><br />On the plus side, you have name recognition and a successful business backing, and immediate inventory available. Serious beer drinkers will find this building and frequent it - no matter where it is. So, instant customers.<br /><br />Collegeville/Trappe is, frankly, hurting after the newer, bigger, flashier buildings of the past few years were constructed in neighboring towns, and businesses felt the sting.<br /><br />We need a kick like this in the area!<br /><br />Time to learn my ABCs!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576937344804018735noreply@blogger.com
