We’re a little short today… and no, we’re not saying it’s because of Tim 😉

Due to short staffing, Tim’s Hardware Store will open at 5:30 PM today.

Same Tim’s. Same drinks. Just fashionably late.

We’re hiring bartenders and cleaners—so here’s your sign! If you’re interested, email us at [email protected]

CLOSED TODAY 🍻

This weekend was one for the books — and our crew absolutely crushed it.

So today, Monday, September 7, we’re locking up Tim’s Hardware Store and giving the staff a well-earned Labor Day off.

They’ve poured enough b**rs, heard enough stories, and logged enough steps behind that bar to earn a day with their feet up.

Happy Labor Day from Tim’s! We’ll see you back at the bar tomorrow. 🔧🍺

Apparently Tim drew the short end of the stick in the family gene pool. 😂

Yes, those are his brothers.
Yes, they’re all taller.
No, Tim does not want to talk about it.

Some childhood wounds never heal. 🍻

What started as a simple idea to Pour It Forward turned into $1,029 for Fox Valley recovery efforts. 🍻

Throughout August, you helped us support our neighbors simply by ordering a pint, many of which were from one of the Fox Valley breweries—and you absolutely showed up.

Thanks to every person who raised a glass, every brewery that helped us fill the taps, and everyone who shared the campaign along the way. Together, we raised $1,029 that will be donated to the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region to support recovery efforts.

Fox Valley Strong. ❤️

And from all of us at Tim’s—thank you for helping us pour it forward.

CONFESSION FROM THE TIM’S SOCIAL MEDIA DEPARTMENT:

I have sinned.

For months, you wonderful people have been sending us photos of Tim’s Hardware Store traveling the world… and I have been collecting them like a tiny digital hoarder with absolutely no follow-through.

The Badlands. Florida. Vegas. Ireland. Grenada. Glacier National Park. Random bars. Beautiful views. Questionable decisions. Tim’s has been OUT THERE.

And where have these photos been?

Sitting in my phone.

Unposted.

Uncelebrated.

Hidden from the world like classified documents.

I would formally like to apologize to:

1. Everyone who has sent us a photo.
2. Tim.
3. The traveling Tim’s merch.
4. The general public, who deserved better.

BUT TODAY, I REPENT.

I am putting my nose to the grindstone, digging through the embarrassingly large backlog, and scheduling out a whole bunch of Tim’s Caught in the Wild posts.

So if you sent us a photo six days ago… six weeks ago… or long enough ago that you assumed I forgot about you…

I DIDN’T FORGET.

I just got wildly behind. 😂

Keep your eyes open. Your adventures are coming.

And PLEASE keep sending us your Tim’s Caught in the Wild photos. Don’t let my administrative shortcomings stop you from doing the Lord’s work.

We absolutely LOVE seeing where Tim’s Hardware Store ends up. Near, far, across the country, across the ocean, down the road — keep ’em coming.

I promise, I’m getting my feet back under me.

Signed,
Your apologetic and slightly overwhelmed Tim’s Social Media Department 🍺🔨

There are no dumb questions.

Just dumb questions asked at the wrong table. 🍻😂

Tag the friend who would absolutely be the one asking.

Ashley has spoken. 😂🍺

We’re not saying you should take your life advice from your bartender… but we ARE saying Ashley makes a pretty convincing argument. 😂

Come hang with us at Tim’s Hardware Store — where the b**r is cold, the company is great, and the bartender wisdom is always free.

Cheers responsibly, friends. 🍻

A year ago, Tim’s Hardware Store looked a little different. 😂🍺

No finished bar. No taps. No Lumber Yard B**r Garden. Just a construction zone, a tiny fridge in the motel office with a VERY limited b**r selection… and these people.

Our OGs would literally stop by, come downstairs to inspect the progress, dream up fun ideas, buy whatever bottle or can we happened to have cold, and head out to the little deck to hang out with us.

They were drinking at Tim’s before Tim’s was even a bar. That’s a special level of commitment. 😂

Not all of the original crew is pictured here, but this photo makes us smile. A whole lot has changed in a year — but thankfully, the characters hanging around the place haven’t.

Cheers to the true Originals. 🍻🔨
