For those who don’t know, Mike and I are resolute on starting a brewery, and we’d like to see it happen within the next few years. We have a problem though. It seems like it is easier for us to come up with brews, brewery ideas, and general business plans than it is a name. [...]
As a result of this site, I have the opportunity to interact with more than a few beer lovers. The more conversations I have with individuals who find themselves falling head over heels in love with quality craft beer, the more folks I find who express a desire to start a brewery. The vast majority [...]
The closer that Nate and I get to opening a brewery (it’s still a ways off), the more questions we find ourselves asking. It seems like a natural enough progression, but various forks in the road could drastically shape the outcome. Specific questions that we have asked along the way relate to styles and flagship [...]
Anemic. Perhaps this is one of the best ways to describe the job market. Seriously, in my remembrance the job market has never beer worse. Here I sit, with a couple of prospects and a Master’s degree but still out of work for the period of about three months. Needless to say, many people are [...]
Remember that $787 Billion Stimulus package that congress passed in 2009? Under the scrutinizing eye, it was in fact a tax, not a stimulus…the United States has yet to feel the pain of payback; however. Regardless, free taxpayer money seems to be synonymous with “stimulus” these days. What does a yet unpaid for tax stimulate? [...]
Located about 2 hours away from Indianapolis, Three Floyd’s Brewery is a very reasonable weekend day trip. To not visit such a highly acclaimed brewery within one’s arm reach would be a criminal’s act indeed. Many people make their way to Three Floyds for Dark Lord Day; in fact, there was an estimated 8,000-10,000 people [...]
Having children is hard work; but hard work is not bad, and usually is quite rewarding. My wife and I have five children. We also have forsaken sleeping in, alone time, date nights, and frivolous spending of money. In the same breath we have gained so much more…pride, love, friendship, and countless nights enjoying our [...]
Outside of Dark Lord Day, I’ve not been to Three Floyds. Now that I’m in Indiana, I’m planning on hitting Three Floyds Brewpub for a bite to eat and a couple beers to drink. Anyway, I don’t know how many of you have local brewpubs but that’s what I’ll be doing on this Saturday. I’m [...]
Today I watched Spain lose to the Swiss. Keep in mind that Spain is widely considered the favorite to win the World Cup. Many of the learned soccer experts, FIFA, and fans assume that certain teams will win or be great in the World Cup. Of course, I’m not saying it’s unfair to expect teams [...]
Unlike ever before, the internet is proliferated with reviews of beer. As if Beer Advocate and Rate Beer had not provided the interwebs with enough paradoxical opinions and love stories for that hopmonster of an ale you hold in your hand, there has sprung up a glut of beer blogs that are dying to tell [...]
