“We really think we can bring something to the table that encompasses everybody,” Johnson said. “People that are new to craft beer and never experienced what it offers, people that have been into craft beer but kind of forgotten what some of the classics that they enjoyed before craft beers blew up.”

With around 70 tap handles and a real time inventory system, Roosevelt’s will allow you to see what beers are popular, how much beer is left in the kegs and all the info about the beers. The technology incorporated will also allow you to see this info anywhere in the world or across the street.

“We also will have something for the high-end craft beer drinker that wants something new, experimental; the ones that are pushing the boundaries of what craft beer is. With this concept we feel we can bring it together under one roof,” he said.

It isn’t all about beer. Cider and wine will be on the draft system as well. The food will pair with the beers. Melts are what they will specialize in, but they will also offer entrees, burgers, sandwiches and salads.

Technology is one thing, but Johnson and Royal really want the place to be educational. They want customers to learn about craft beer and try things they haven’t tried before.
