Last week, I saw a post from Hiatus Brewing Company stating that they would be closing indefinitely due to an operations issue. I was absolutely shocked when I read it and immediately called Doug at work to let him know. I decided that I wasn't going to be the one to tell Phil and instead let Doug break the news to him as the brewery had become their favorite place to meet for a drink and to catch up on their week. It was not only convenient being just a little over a mile from our home, but it also had the best craft beer that I had ever tasted. I didn't always meet the brothers there but had been there enough that the bartender didn't even ask me what I wanted anymore. To say that we were all disappointed was an understatement.
Thankfully, the brewery didn't stay closed for long and within a few days was back up and running again. We never found out what the issue was but were glad to see that they had already scheduled an event for "Florida Pint Day" complete with a collector's glass. I wasn't able to go but Doug and Phil put it on their calendar for last night, and I was very happy to add the new glass to our collection. Now we had a manatee for me from last year and an alligator for Doug this year. It was a nice way to end the week and to celebrate Hiatus' "reopening."
