Aufgeregt — It means excited in German.

Bierkeller Columbia is looking to open their own brick-and-mortar brewery in Columbia. A $100,000 economic development grant approved by the Columbia City Council will help the nomadic, German brewery find a home. It received the grant with the contingency that it will create 10 new jobs and invest $1 million in local, corporate facilities.
