To start a brewery or to not start a brewery – that is the question!

I still have no idea or ideas. In my heart I really see this as a true possibility, it is the feasibility that I am concerned with. While on his West Coast tour, Steve chatted with a brew master from a brewery out there (I am pretty sure it was Alesmith’s – but don’t quote me on that) who was a founding staff member, but not a founding investor. So I don’t know how helpful the visit was. If nothing else a private tour – THANKS ABBY.

I have not made much progress one way or the other, but I refuse to give up on this dream quite yet.

Arranging Talks with Brewmasters

Well since our last conversation we have not really said too much about it. Just things here and there. However, I don’t work like that. I want to explore this as a true option. I am tired of working for companies, getting settled in, making a huge impact and having the company think that now that things are straightened out they can run it themselves. Let me tell you from experience, it will return to its former shape in no time.

I need to explore this brewery and see if it could be a reality. The next time I head to The Barking Dog – I will talk to the manager and see if he can put us in touch with the brew master/owner of Pretty Things. I hope Dan is up for a visit.

Starting a brewery - Maybe !!!!!!!!!!!!!

After being laid off from my work, my husband and I had our first REAL conversation about starting a brewery. We may actually do it - OMG that would be incredible. We are starting with just the business plan for now, meeting with other small brewery owners, and talking to potential investors (ie – my parents) to see if this could be a reality for us.

I plan to blog about my experience (good and bad) to let out some steam and share my experience.

To all my fan, please keep reading and passing the blog along.
