Whole Hog Moves to Sugar Land



Whole Hog Brewery is not Immune to the Forces of Globalization. As JeffRay prepares for an Overseas assignment (2+ years) the brewery has moved to Sugar Land as the OH, Double David, etc. will act as Steward in the interim.

The move went well: plenty of fine memories, not washed away over time and beer suds, were present as boxes were filled, trailer loaded, and truck moved off toward Sugar Land. Thanks are due to Rick P, a regular at Whole Hog, allowed use of his truck and tie bands (some of which were inadvertently on long-term loan).

Additional unpacking and commissioning are needed for the brewery to back to normal production. But, there should be plenty of time for this to naturally occur.

The first batch of beer to be brewed in Sugar Land will be "Maiden Brew 2" based on the first grain bell sum four years ago. It will be a extract beer, brewed to ensure equipment is in good condition. No doubt, a going-way brew will be brewed in JeffRay's honor. An announcement on this event will be forthcoming as his departure date becomes more clear.
