We have had a few meetings at Wolf Hills in the past. They decided it would
be best not to allow any outside beer, including homebrew. No issue at all
with us meeting there, just no outside beer.
We love Wolf Hills and their beer. We definitely see them more as
colleagues than competitors :)
If we don't have anything definitive nailed down by Friday, we should
probably start looking outside of Abingdon.

Wolf Hills, but I hear band noise has been an issue in the past and is a
competitor of Brent's employer.
I don't really know much else of Abingdon. Needs to be a venue that sells
food?
If a public establishment, it needs to be one with a beer license?
If an Abingdon member wanted to host the group at a private residence?

Hello Overmountain Brewers,
We no longer have the side room at Bonefire to meet at. They will be
renting that out to another business. They are working on their back room
and may have a place again in a few months or so.....
But that said, does anyone have any ideas about an Abingdon location that
we could meet at?
Here is what I can tell you as of right now:
1. In the past, MoonDog said it was out of the question to have
homebrew, and pretty rude to our entire group
2. Peppermill can't allow just meetings in rooms since they are one of
the few places open on Monday they fill all their tables with customers
purchasing food
3. Shoney's in Abingdon does have a separate room that could be used.
They would expect some (doesn't have to be everyone) to eat there for the
use of the room. They sale wine and beer, so having homebrew shouldn't be a
concern. BUT the manager Jason that I spoke with will need to confirm with
his boss and hopes to have confirmation for me tomorrow 7/6/2017. I want
to get this in writing if I am told we are good, to ensure we don't have a
repeat of the MoonDog issues
If Shoney's doesn't work out, I can't think of another place in
Abingdon that would be open and that would have a room separate from the
public.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Please chime in ASAP since our next meeting is Monday July 10, 2017.
Thank you,
Donna
