Happy Birthday to Michael! ❤️❤️

10/04/2026

I turned off comments on yesterday’s post because the conversation got out of hand. The original post was meant to be lighthearted. It came from a seriously small, truly local business trying to make a point about something we experience firsthand: how easily small, independent businesses can get overshadowed by larger chain businesses in our own community.

Some people interpreted the post as us bashing Hacienda. That honestly wasn’t the intention. It was much more about our community and the choices we make as consumers.

Hacienda and Craft are two very different businesses with very different business models, and I have no problem acknowledging that. This isn’t about saying one business shouldn’t exist or that people shouldn’t enjoy what they offer.

But when our community continually chooses to support larger businesses over small, independent ones, it has consequences. The small businesses don’t have the same resources, staff, buying power, marketing budgets, or cushion when things get hard. We are the people working the floor, making the drinks, cooking the food, answering the phone, paying the bills and trying to keep the doors open.

And that’s really what yesterday’s post was about.

We aren’t asking anyone to stop supporting Hacienda or any other business. We’re asking people to remember that where you choose to spend your money matters, especially when you’re choosing between a local independent business and a much larger company.

We love this community. We want to see all of our local businesses succeed. But we also think it’s okay to have an honest conversation about the challenges small businesses face without it automatically being interpreted as an attack.

I worked at hacienda for yeeeeears. My kids still choose to go there for their birthdays. It was never anti hacienda. So chill out yall. I like ranch and margs too. 😅😅😅

But also if you just want to go grab a frozen marg somewhere else….. 🤷🏻‍♀️

INTRODUCING ✨ CRAFT WERKS ✨

OUR SPECIAL B**R COLLAB WITH South Bend Brew Werks. Freshly brewed and tapped and ready to serve at Craft!

“India Pale L***r: brewed like a l***r, so lower ABV, crisp cleaner finish, light bodied, but hopped like an ipa, so more bitterness than normal for a l***r. I used Centennial hops and added a moderate dry hop (which is adding hops during fermentation) to give some more citrus hops characteristics.

Sometimes the style is referred to as a hoppy l***r or a cold ipa, but IPL is the style I was going for.” - Steve dropping the knowledge for me.
