300 – The number of sausage rolls sold by Foundroot, which opened its Dalton City location for the first time for Beerfest. Co-owner Nick Schlosstein said he made puff pastry by hand over the course of several days. “It was a real dumb thing to do, but it was a pretty good workout,” he said. The store also sold 30 cold brew coffees and sold out its cookies. “We had people lined up out the door the whole time. It was a really good opener,” Schlosstein said.
