This is a love letter to :
When construction started on the first floor of the building my studio is in… I was so curious. I watched them tear up the concrete floor, install a bar, and pieces of a sick mural (kudos !) and then, voila, a new brewery was born.
If you know me, you know I’m all about local everything, and to share a building with such a kind, warm and convenient business quickly was a major, major joy for me as an individual and business owner.
In their first year, asked me to start hosting paint and sips. We worked hard to market, and repeatedly sold them out. I made many friends with painters who came again and again.
In winter 2024, Mike’s now wife introduced me to .gabby.oakes during a holiday market in the taproom - I hired her essentially on the spot, and it was an incredible leveling up to have her on the team.
I’ve had birthday parties, my breakup parties, and countless happy hours in this brewery. Every time I walk by, I’m saying hey to whoever is working.
Wico Street Beer Co, what a delight it has been to have you as a neighbor!! Im so glad to have had the chance to honor you and the other breweries with my newest mural. You will be so, so, so missed. ❤️🩹
