Here's an update on District 22 Pizzeria, opening any day now in downtown New Albany.

I ran into Matt McMahan yesterday at the post office, and later he sent these photos of District 22 Pizzeria, his new project, located next to Big Four Burgers + Beer NA.

NOW HIRING!!!! Opening soon!!! Space is ready. Now just need people! Hiring drivers (must be 21 to deliver beer) , counter and cooks!! Apply at Big Four Burgers + Beer NA next door !

It will come as no surprise that staffing is the final hurdle. Simply stated, there isn't a restaurant in metro Louisville that isn't looking for help, and if there it is, it's an exception.

Back in January, we had a look. The Alcohol & Tobacco Commission has mandated a few cosmetic changes to the floor plan, but the overall business model for District 22 remains intact.

District 22 Pizzeria will offer pizza AND beer delivery in New Albany.

Stay tuned for more information.

Using a handy app to order alcoholic beverages for delivery.

In Austin, Texas, but don't think that it cannot be done here in Indiana. In fact, it already is. Consider this daily delivery offer at the Thr3e Wise Men brewpub in Indianapolis.

EVERYDAY SPECIALS

$20 large pizza and growler for carryout or delivery
(with purchase of glass growler, pizza toppings additional)
(growler delivery not available on Sunday)

$20 ten wings and growler for carryout or delivery
(with purchase of glass growler)

It's hard to imagine a more brilliant strategy for upselling. How many delivery orders will not include a full-priced appetizer or second growler?

BrewDrop Brings Sweet Booze Right To Your Home, by John Biggs (TechCrunch)

It’s 11pm: do you know where your microbrews are? Matt and Andrew Bell know. As the creators of BrewDrop, they want to make it easy to order booze using a simple app.

The service, which just launched in Austin, Texas, allows you to send an instant order to local booze purveyors using an Uber-like interface. In fact, you can think of it as a drunken TaskRabbit or an Amazon Prime Drone for tipple.
