Damen und Herren,
I hope this message finds all of you well; I write it with a bittersweet mixture of joy, and sadness. There is no easy way to break this news to you, so I'll get right to it- Das Bierhaus will not be opening again, at our current 175 Church St. location.
It's hard to believe it, but five awesome, and tremendously rewarding, years have passed since we signed our lease. Renewal time had come and, as the dust of negotiations and exploring other options settled, I was fortunate enough to have been presented with an offer I could not refuse.
I won't bore anyone with the details, but I can tell you that I sold my lease/leasholder improvements and still retain all rights to the Bierhaus brand you've come to know and love.
This decision affords me the exciting opportunity to expand Das Bierhaus into some new markets, and I've certainly not ruled out the possibility of another (smaller) location here in Burlington. I can definitely tell you that this is NOT goodbye! To paraphrase a great Austrian philosopher, "We'll be back..."
Until then, I thank all of you, so very much. To my guests, to my current and former staff, and to the city of Burlington- Thank you for your support, for your patronage, for all the great times we shared. I would not trade the last 6 years for anything. Dank zu viel and here's to great things for all of us, in 2015!
PROST!!!!!
