CapOnBOBS Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) At the height of Oktoberfest, things sometimes can get... a little out of hand. It is unclear if this was a "pirate raid" or "fest shenanigans," but in either case the damage was light, easily repaired, and all involved were drunk. Right after the fest tents cleared out for the night, a mob/band/party of sailors/fest goers passed the brewery on their way home. Deciding that in fact, they had not had enough to drink, they broke in and helped themselves. Morning found them still hard at work trying to drink the place dry. Yes, the normally tranquil factory, using the rich soil along the creek to grow their own hops, a picturesque place to work. Normally, alive with clockwork precision, particularly gearing up towards the high demand of fest season. The factory had been at max capacity for weeks, filling the racks with kegs for the Punto Sur festivities. But, tor the last 24 hours has been more like the fest tents on the tail end than the brewery on the front one. One report included drunken sailors trying to "cut out the middle men" and gorging themselves off half-ripe hops, straight off the vine... probably the best thing for them, they had probably had enough by that point anyway. Luckily, it appears that the most substantial costs of the whole event was the astonishing cut to the breweries inventory. The owners have claimed that even accounting for what was clearly spilled, the amount of beer consumed by the wayward sailors was, "absurd!" Though the demand is certainly high enough for their product, this temporary transfer of ownership has prompted the owner to consider selling this money maker to set up shop in a line of work with less on the job hazards.

Khorne Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Cool story and very nice build! I really like those huge vats of beer. Or those lids Duplo pieces? I also really like the green things, simple but very ingenious. Those are probably the hops, right? I'm not used to seeing them like that. I'm more used to this sight. Quote
Capt Wolf Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Wonderful build. Love the hops vines! 17 hours ago, CapOnBOBS said: to grow their own hops for generations Er, might want to edit that. It's a new settlement. Only the natives have been here for generations. 17 hours ago, CapOnBOBS said: historic brewery This part, too. Not much history in Punto Sur yet. Quote
Fraunces Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Amazing build man! Love the facade, the story and the big beer-brewing facility! Edited October 22, 2020 by Fraunces Quote

"hop teepee" I think the idea is that you can get away with a single pole in the ground for more hops at the cost of more space. I assumed it was an older way of doing it. Quote
Bodi Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Fun build, with lot of interesting details, the wooden structure looks good, so does the fermentation equipment. Quote
