Shipyard Emporium Grand Opening | THE PARTY

Winter Park, Florida

The official grand opening of the Shipyard Emporium was quite the party. Three times as many people as were expected showed up. We got to shake hands with the president of the Shipyard Brewing Company and meet his family as they were all on site along with Chef Tony Adams, owner of the local favorite, Big Wheel Provisions to cut the red ribbon on this amazing new spot. Nate and I are so excited to be a part of this community of fantastic people. Seeing places like this open with such smashing success thrills us. The Emporium had beer, clam chowder, lobster bisque, and artisan snacks on hand, as well as tents of other local small businesses for the guests to enjoy. They also had our PARTYBOOTH. I’m not going to lie, this was one of my favorite setups. We had such a great time meeting everyone that came out to celebrate.And because I think it’s such a great venture, I’m gonna brag on it for a minute…

The Shipyard Emporium is just down the street from our studio in Winter Park and serves Shipyard’s award winning craft beers as well as artisan, locavore eats from Chef Tony Adams of Big Wheel Provisions. Beer is brewed on site in a 28 gallon brewing system under the direction of accomplished brewer, Ron Raike. Ron is planning on brewing special limited releases and seasonal beers as well for all you craft beer fans. The menu at the Emporium is the work of Chef Tony Adams and will rotate based on the seasons and availability of fresh, local ingredients (don’t you just LOVE that?). You can also find goodies by Orlando’s own Bees Knees Sweet Treats available inside. It’s such a fantastic collaboration and we were honored to get to be a part of the celebration. You can follow Shipyard Emporium on Facebook, and on Twitter.
