Beer, machinery, and molten metal! I'm not even kidding when I say that is right up my alley.

- 52-6F-62 9y agoKeep an eye out for their fall launch. They let you run the Challenge Gordon platen press to make a print. They don't let you set any type because it would be pretty time-consuming, but they do let you get close and personal with a case of lead type and a composing stick. I think they ran the linotype when I was last there, made a row of type, or let you do it, and then tossed it back into the molten lead again. Just make sure to catch up on some of the poets or authors they've published. You won't have to go far. Then again, IIRC Stan was not as much the literary type as he was the technical-mind. He's the founding master-printer. You can usually find him in some pub around the annex drinking too much Guinness.
