I’ve made no secret of my future brewery aspirations. My goal is to be brewing commercially in a little over a year from now. If you read this site, you know this and my friends know this as well. So, Christmas came and we were going to be out of town. My awesome friends hung out with me the other night and gave me my gift.
I went to my friend’s house and saw some beer bottles on the table. I thought, I’ve never seen that brew label before and it looks really interesting. Being curious I took a much closer look. Lo and behold, there was a label with our future proposed name for our brewery. Apparent mental slowness on my part made me get kinda pissed that the name for the future brewery was stolen. How can this be?
It dawned on me, slowly, that, in fact, my friends had designed a very cool and authentic looking label that donned the new beer bottles sitting on the table (pics to come). One of the best X-mas present I’ve ever gotten happened just this year. Happy Holidays indeed!
Kinda funny the initial reaction! Must have been cool to have something tangible – makes the dream more of a reality! Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

Thanks Scott. I’m actually trying to wrap up some stuff for a the brewery plan while I’m on vacation. It will be a reality, it’s just a matter of when.

That’s awesome. I designed a label for my brother and had it burnt on a wooden six pack holder. He would show off his sixpack to his homebrew buddies- which they were all jealous

Next year my goal is to make everything I give as a gift. There is no feeling like making it yourself and it being appreciated.
