Sweet gig man! Maybe they can be our hosts for Wagonfest?
Congratulations! I haven't tried Flat Earth yet but have heard good things about it (there are so many new breweries in town these days it's hard to keep up.) My brothers and I just went to the new Surly brewery a week or so ago for lunch, it was pretty good and the building is very impressive.

You're like 15min from me. Neat.

That plan might have been on my mind....
Congrats!
When you hate to get up in the morning, it's a long life.

Wagons, craft beer, and beards? Sounds like you're catering to either hipsters or auto journalists.
Bad. Ass. Keep up the good work and the beard growing! 
Congratulations. After owning a brewery for 8 years, my only career goal left on the bucket-list is quality control department at the whorehouse.
On a more serious note, I met a lot of fellow brewery owners who went down the alcoholic route; its not hard to do.
Effin sweet dude!
Congratulations!
You almost lost me with "retired at 34" and being promptly broke. Wheres the logic in this decision?
Congrats on the cool new job!

Without going into great detail, it took a bit more than a polite word to get the wife to hold up her end of the bargain. Ideally, it would have worked. Realistically, she wasn't capable of doing what she said she was going to. I should have seen it coming.
That moment where you realize you have the freedom to do whatever makes you happiest is both freeing and terrifying. I'm glad you're working your way through it to even more happiness.
Yeah, let me tell you, not having to have a "career" type job is sort of baffling to me. On one hand, I feel like a total toad- but on the other hand....I know i'm not a "career" type- so I'm taking what I can and running with it.
Congrats! So do you get to be Laverne or Shirley?
Congrats man! That is awesome. Very happy for you.
Congrats!
Congrats. Maybe there is hope out there.

There is. Take it from me, I was pretty berkeleying defeated not long ago. I was ready to trade in the dreams just to make bills. But we had a heart to heart, and the wife caught drift of what it would mean for me to go back corporate. We did some reorganization of priorities, shed a lot of bills, changed lifestyles, and we are all a lot better off for it. I'm not saying it's perfect, far from. But if I can fight it out, anyone can. It's really a matter of perseverance and willingness to take a leap. It was a huge risk and it paid off. Yeah it helps to have a wife that backs you, but its.really.on you to make it happen.
did she do all the changes willingly and embraced them wholeheartedly ? if she did them only for you, it might or might not take for the long haul … have that sit down come to jesus talk again in a while and make sure she's still totally on board with the changed lifestyle …
assuming this really works … FWIW I'm happy as heck for y'all … a big thumbs up
Congrats dude! Sounds like a win win situ. Now about the paid to sleep job....Tell us more! Is Flat Earth going to come to ATL?

Oh we've come to Jesus many times. My deal is, we spent a retarded amount of cash to get her a degree. Unlike the blown up mini, were berkeleying using it. It took a bit of a shove to get her out of her employment rut to realize that. She has a sweet gig now. Along the way, we've come to realize I am far better at disaster control than she is- so it pays to have me flexible. If things go wrong, I can usually fix it faster. Plus I do a lot better with stuff like grocery life, cooking, what have you.

Flat earth coming to atl, I have no idea. They're pretty small yet, I know we still.do all of our own distribution. Just got a canning machine, so there is that. So....hopefully?
