This saves a ton of time trying to set everything up individually and how we can continue to replicate this success. Thanks for always Making It Better, Casey!

Chris Baruffi
He has stepped up and really taken ownership of running the filler to keep things running smoothly while he is on shift. Chris always goes above and beyond with his prep work, attention to detail, and setting others up for success. Thank you for Being a Pro, Making It Better, and Being Good Neighbor, Chris!
Jon Edwards
Jon Edwards is a Total Pro and a Good Neighbor - in his professional job as a firefighter, at his job with us as a Barback and Beertender in the Tasting Room, and in his personal life. Jon was leaving his parents house when he noticed a building on fire. Firefighters were not yet on the scene, but he, along with an off-duty Ocean City firefighter assisted in saving five people stuck on the 2nd floor. Four were children. All are doing well and were saved thanks to his heroic efforts. Way to be a Good Neighbor & a Total Pro, Jon.
