Sneak Peek: SOL Markets in Liberty Station
This is a very thoughtful post and I appreciate it. When the bar/bistro is open in a couple of weeks (the market is open now), come on by and I'll buy your first beer and we can discuss. Ultimately, we decided that you could stretch the argument pretty far and say that the gas that transports our produce from the local farms is from the Middle East, the plastic that holds our dairy from (who knows?), or could make a distinction about what is native to this area. We decided that the best thing to do is not be so rigid and simply support the local purveyors of food and drink. We know more about what they are doing with their beer, than that which is brewed thousands of miles away. By doing this, we think it will help keep money in the community, support the local food movement, pair nicely with the food, give lots of info to our patrons and basically move the ball forward the best we can. We didn't want the "perfect" definition to interfere with doing "better." Our goal: provide you with the best items as close to home as we possibly can (and we think that is more than anyone else is trying to do). Thanks again and Cheers!— March 6, 2012 1:27 a.m.
Sneak Peek: SOL Markets in Liberty Station
We debated (for a long time) about whether "sol" (pronounced "soul") would be associated with the old S.O.L. acronym/initialization. Ultimately, we loved the other associations (Spanish for sun, latin, the "soul," etc.) and it ultimately stuck. It seems to rarely come up now that we're open and we just embrace it and laugh. :) Come by and see us!— March 6, 2012 1:16 a.m.
