Now that they’ve opened the garage doors to their new brewing facility at 219 Hood St. — and increased their beer production by 1,000% since their nanobrewery days above The Cookery’s Front Room entrance — Ponysaurus Brewing Co. invites you to celebrate with them at a grand opening ceremony October 24 from 4-8pm.
Brewery tours hosted by Keil Jansen, brewmaster and owner, will give guests a closer look at production and the philosophy that influences the company’s various beer styles. Guests will also catch a first look at the new taproom, which opens to a large gathering space that spans an outdoor two-story patio and beer garden.
Craft beer will be offered by various local breweries including Bull City Burger and Brewery, Bull City Ciderworks, Crank Arm Brewing, Fullsteam, Haw River Farmhouse Ales and Mystery Brewing Company. In addition, catch live music from local bands including The Chris Stamey Band, Loamlands and Girls Rock NC plus the personal vinyl collections of DJ Ephasis (Justin Vernon of Bon Iver), DJ Website (Matt McCaughan of Bon Iver), DJ Wow (M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger) and DJ Kenny Login (Brad Cook). A host of local food trucks will also be in attendance including Chirba Chirba Dumpling, Pie Pushers, Sympathy for the Deli and Two Roosters Ice Cream.
“This grand opening is intended to celebrate the tremendous community of local breweries, the local food scene and, of course, loyal beer drinkers in the Triangle,” Keil says. “Our new brewery is built on the shoulders of giants who helped build the community we have today that values good beer and good food.”
In addition to the grand opening, the taproom is launching a Sunday brunch series with Pie Pushers starting Oct. 25. Biscuits & Beer will start at noon on Sundays, featuring pizza and biscuit sammies, mimosas, micheladas and more. Plus, football will be on all day in the taproom.
