This weekend, I had an opportunity to attend the soft opening for Urbanrest Brewing Co. in Ferndale. My friend Bryan had a connection to the brewer from his homebrew days, and was also a kickstarter backer, which got him invited +5 to opening night. I was very impressed with the space and the beer, as well as learning about their open fermentation process from the brewmaster himself, but more than anything, it was amazing to see his dream come true all around us. No tours of the facility were available on Friday, but I at least got to capture the people enjoying what they do.
