Powering the Southern Beer Economy since 2010. | Fullsteam&#39;s mission is to power a Southern Beer Economy, supporting farmers, foragers, and value-added agricultural small business through the act of commerce. We buy local to support local -- to the tune of over $500,000 in Southern farmed ingredients since we launched in 2010. 

We brew beer with locally malted grains, sweet potatoes, basil, seasonal fruit crops like blueberries and strawberries, unusual harvests like persimmons and paw paws, and foraged fruits and flowers.

Hi friends! We're really inconsistent on LinkedIn, but since this is about the impact of real estate, changing neighborhoods, and evolving needs, our recent news fits on this platform pretty well. We're officially announcing our eventual relocation and recognification of our space at 726 Rigsbee. Why? * production and distribution is growing and we need more space, but we're effectively out of room at the brewery, * we have an exciting opportunity for a new Durham taproom (details to be announced) that resolve many of 726 Rigsbee's constraints, including HVAC, parking, kitchen, private party space, and outdoor seating, and * our current landlord has proposed a rent increase that is untenable for a manufacturing facility. It's increasing clear that, for us to be sustainable, we need to reach well beyond 726 Rigsbee, and we need to start planning for these transitions now. KEY DATES Our first transition will be to close down the Rigsbee kitchen. Our last day of food service will be Wednesday, July 31. Please know we're extending pay to our tenured kitchen staff well beyond their last day of work. Rigsbee's final day open to the public - at least in its current footprint and configuration - will be Halloween (Thursday, October 31), with a Halloween-themed Trivia and party. So in August, September, and October, we'll be going back to our roots: bring in outside food! Bring your (well-behaved) dog! Come remember, re-experience, and support this amazing space until the end of October. We'd love...we need...your support. Currently, as structured, our lease ends in June 2025. We are working with our landlord to see if there's a future for us at 726 Rigsbee in any capacity, but their initial proposal was *extraordinarily* expensive. At this point, we don't know. This gives us from November 2024 to June 2025 to work at 726 Rigsbee as a production-only space as we finalize our plans to grow our production footprint beyond our current footprint. Meanwhile, it's business as usual in production, sales, and distribution -- and at Fullsteam at Boxyard RTP. I may read and respond to posts here on LinkedIn, but in general, we'll be heads down on this hard work with limited social media engagement. Come say hello, ask questions, and support us and our staff as we prepare for new adventures. Still and forever your Chief Executive Optimist, Sean Wilson
