New member, new COE (new to me)

[BEER HAULER]

Greetings, all.

I've been through a 50 panel and four 1/2 tons (50, 49, 54, 51) years ago, and now will tranform a 52 COE into a beer truck for a brewpub I'm starting.

Bringing it home this weekend.

I'll be bugging folks for help so thank you in advance.

More pics to come.

Cheers!

[pinecrest]

You tease, you. Haha. I'll be watching.

No teasing when the subject is beer and my new old truck, lol...

I'm not sure what I'm more excited about, the brewery or the truck.
I guess since they will be partners, it's all good!

[duallyjams]

What kind of beer, I love beer , you brew your own beer oh yeah cool truck also.

[BEER HAULER]

The COE will have old oak beer barrels on the flatbed, with my beer logo on it, etc.

The plan right now is to have 5 in house beers on tap all of the time, with rotating guest taps, maybe 20 or so.

Whatever kind of beer you like, I can and will make.

I will have a double IPA called 'Hop Haul' with my truck hauling a big hop cone on the label.

You need to post a pic of your place and where it's at.

[BEER HAULER]

We are just getting under way.
Honestly, it will probably be a year (or more) before we open.
The building is 100 years old and will take a lot of renovation.
It takes almost a year to get federal licenses.
And I want this COE ready to make the first delivery!

It will be in Wentzville, Missouri, just west of St. Louis just blocks off of I-70.

First beer is on me.

Pics of the building? cool build!!

This will be fun to watch!

[BEER HAULER]

I'll see what I can do for pics of the building.
It ain't pretty, which is part of the challenge in terms of getting it open... someday.

Just like an old truck restoration... it's only money, right?

[pinecrest]

All I can say is, "This screams AWESOME!!!"

Your concept is a real man's dream!

[Daze57]

love the COE ! good luck on the project(s) if i only had a yuengling beer - hmmmmmmm

[pinecrest]

their is a COE a few miles from my house FOR SALE, that I drool over EVERY time we drive by it. I love them, too. SuhWheat!

[BEER HAULER]

Thank you pinecrest and Daze57, very kind of you.

I love beer (obviously) and am a gearhead, so I just had to do this.

[PJF]

That thing is a beast, congrats!

[BEER HAULER]

Here is another pic.

Already put new tubeless Budd rims and new Michelins on it since the pic.
Lots more to come.

[Kim57]

Welcome.
Sounds like a great project. I love the COEs.

Welcome to the forum from San Diego. Good luck with the projects.

[OrrieG]

Welcome looks like it will be fun. In my day job I have designed a microbrew pub and distillery and a vodka distillery. You are right on the licensing, they have been one of the few projects lately where I could do my work at a reasonable pace instead of being the pinch point in the hour glass!

[BEER HAULER]

Thanks Kim!

Thanks Dan! I'm a San Diego fanatic, I'm there often. My best friend is there.
Used to live in PB but now is out in Santee.
You have an amazing array of beer there.

And Orrie... we are about to start equipment shopping for the brewery, tell me what you know!

[poncho_villa]

WOW! What's not to like?? What the plan for the COE?

[duallyjams]

Oh yeah I will make a road trip. Will you have parking for a truck show to go with the gran opening.

Cool Truck! I bet you could make it to Columbia for the homecoming parade, half this town is from St louis during school. I would love to see this truck.
