Root beer? Riiiight…

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

I helped Jeff and Hannah (Jeff’s truly accommodating better half) move into a new neighborhood today. The same neighborhood that Joel and I plan to move into in the next few years – and the neighborhood in which we hope to open our brewery.
Not only was it cool to start to see our vision of [...]

Beau’s All Natural Brewing reveals all! Or, rather, drops some knowledge on us.

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

So we’re starting a brewery. Big whoop. We thought we would take this opportunity as future entrepreneurs to try to learn from fellow microbrewers. And so we present to you the first in what will hopefully be a series of interviews with legitimate brewers. Brewers who get PAID to brew.
I realize we’re not known for [...]

Selling beer on eBay: a $500,000 mistake

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Many thanks to Kurt for tipping us off to this humorous blunder. Luxist (via A New Perception) has posted about a man who misspelled the name of a rare beer in his auction listing.

Hooray beer!

Usually brewing is a way for me to unwind on Monday nights. Last night, for some reason, was stressful. I might even characterize it as “sucky.” Why? I think there were a few reasons, not the least of which was that I started off the night by milling the wrong grains. Joel needs to label [...]

THE MOTHERLOAD

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

But wait, there’s more:

On my way home to Nashville… a mere 1 hour ago… I stopped at a place called Stones River Liquors. I walked out having spent over $100 on beer. It… was… INCREDIBLE.
I can’t write more now, because 1) I’m still too giddy, and 2) I have to go to a [...]
