Tub News:
The community is invited to join the Tub as it turns 10! This year marks the 10th anniversary of Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op, one of only eight brewing co-ops in the country.
The Tub opened its doors April 22, 2015 at 163 Central Park Square after several years of planning and fundraising. Just over a month later, on May 24, 2015, the first Tub beers were released.
What started with just 100 original members has now grown to more than 1,200 lifetime members. Last year the Tub was able to pay off all member loans, and saw record sales, just $30,000 shy of the $1 million mark.
Since opening, the Tub has built a patio space with a firepit, renovated the “back 40” outdoor space, and added an outdoor service operation for the warmer months. In 2023, they upgraded to a 7-barrel brewhouse.
“What started as an idea by a small group of dedicated and hard-working people willing to take a chance on a new concept has grown and thrived,” General Manager Doug Osborn said. “We are a huge part of this community.”
The Tub remains true to its roots as a gathering spot for the community. “Welcome home!” Osborn said.
Events planned to celebrate this milestone:
- April 22: 10th Anniversary celebration of opening day
- April 29: Jazz Night Special
- May 3: Espanola Humane Adoption Event
