| As you enter the building through a small door in the center of the large factory, you notice a long, long, whimsically lit hallway... |
 |
| As you walk down the hallway you notice the music that is playing is theme from Willy Wonka "Pure Imagination". Perfect! |
 |
| As you continue down the long hall, you can glimpse the factory through a window that is framed like a picture. |
 |
| ...And yet another window on the other side of the long hall. |
 |
| ...a third window, |
 |
| At the end of the hall, you are greeted with a large mural made of bottle caps. (our beautiful designated driver Parvaneh is mugging for the camera) |
 |
| ...upstairs in the taproom, we are ready to sample the suds! (Landon, the 6th member of our gang has joined us) |
