TRAILER PARK
When DuClaw Brewing Company Bel Air was left uninhabitable by fire, smoke and water damage, more people than just our loyal regulars found themselves displaced…
16-A Bel Air South Parkway is not only home to the Pint Club members and DuClaw patrons of Harford County, but also the DuClaw Brewing Company Corporate staff. Marketing, Finance, Creative and IT were all housed in the upper level of the restaurant, leaving us (the corporate staff) not only beerless and foodless like the rest of you, but homeless as well. Without our humble offices, we had to act quickly and secure some sort of makeshift command center from which we could spearhead the rebuilding of Bel Air. The solution was obvious…
… but by no means tornado proof. On an average day, six people work in this tiny structure, but that total can climb to as high as twelve. Twelve weary, beerless, foodless people packed into a single wide wood and aluminum death tube, trying to re-open a restaurant before mother nature decides to smite our mobile base of operations with a freak category six hurricane. Don’t pity us too much, though, it’s a lot roomier on the inside than it looks from the outside…
So, for now, we’re stuck here; still without a reopening date, but optimistic that good news is coming soon. Next time, another progress update and reports of sightings of a creature as rare as “BIGFOOT”.
