 So with that, I am going to introduce Mayor Rickman. So I met the mayor maybe 15 or so years ago. We actually, I think met the first time, you may not recall this mayor in Switzerland when the city of Columbia was involved in an economic development trip. That was at the time I was over in Munich and mayor was on city council and I believe it was in Basel and I had no clue that this, that we had a councilman who could speak fluent German. So Mayor Rickman is his parents, as I understand it, he can tell you more about this. He is half Swiss or one of his parents is Swiss and so he learned German growing up and believe it was Spartanburg, right? So we have been, we stole someone from the upstate who came here to Columbia that really, for this kind of project, it just makes us feel like we got someone in our corner who has been there from the beginning as a city councilman and now as mayor and I want to turn it over to Mayor Rickman to make some remarks. Thank you. Good afternoon everybody. It's an exciting day here. You know, when you watch somebody's dream come out and it started off with a thought and idea, a napkin, hey, we're gonna do this and then suddenly there are pop-ups happening and there's this little buzz going and the next thing you know, they're replicating. What for me is coming home. Both my parents moved here from Switzerland in 1967. My entire family lives overseas other than myself and my immediate family here. So growing up, I spent a lot of time overseas and walking in here just reminds me of spending time with my family or being out here in the garden and being able to sit at a skinny table with a bunch of strangers passing food and having beer. But that's what's so important about it. You know, anybody, I'm not, no disrespect, people can make beer, but you gotta have everything else around it. It's the beer, it's the people, it's the atmosphere, it's what you create. They're pieces of the puzzle and if you don't have all the pieces, you're missing out of it. That's what's so exciting about this. They brought all the pieces together. And you know, we hear a lot about international communities in the upstate, in the low country, but the reality is, is we have one of the largest international communities right here in Columbia, South Carolina. And a lot of it has to do with our education system, our 60,000 students, but also our military. You know, you forget that we have military families that have been stationed overseas who are ending their careers or moved to Columbia to be at Fort Jackson. They're now choosing Columbia. This is exciting for us because there is a great vibe here and people are discovering because we're actually telling our story. We're actually showing people what Columbia has and this is gonna be one of those things that's gonna be great to share with people is, hey, have you tried this experience? Because when you walk around here, you feel like you are overseas in Barbaria. You can tell the cool feeling and the killer right there is, I don't know anywhere else in South Carolina that has that vibe. Having the beer here and the commitment, the authentic commitment to the way it should feel is so exciting. So I'm excited for Sam and Scott for y'all's adventure because watching it from a pop-up to this is what it's all about. You know, I decided to make Columbia my home 35 years ago. And to be quite honest, I really wasn't planning on staying here. I had taken a job overseas and I wanted to squeeze one more football season in because I knew it would be two years. But what happened during that period was I saw friends starting businesses, people taking jobs here. And part of that was is this community supports small businesses more than any other community I've ever seen. And so I decided to stay and open my first restaurant in 1994 in this community and we loved every minute of it. I'm excited that I stayed here. I'm excited for what's to come. And this is just one more piece of the puzzle and congratulations guys. So, so mayor, thank you so much for the kind words. Scott and I on behalf of the beer calder family want to present you with a small token of our appreciation. You will find in here our signature ceramic stein which is a Zahn glasstein. Is German made. And a beer dekkel which you can use for multiple purposes. I'll let you figure that out but you probably already know. And then your logger beer beer killer t-shirt. So, we hope you use this in your mini-design to come to beer keller. Thank you. Come with free free free free free free free free. Free free free free free free.
