Ich Bin Ein Braumeister!

Good job! (Sehr gut!)

Get some work under your belt and then start your own thing. You already have a line of customers waiting...

I'm really excited by the opportunity! Word is they're going to be releasing some new beers and working develop some more during the time I'll be there. That is incredibly exciting for me.

Yep. The current plan is to get a couple years under my belt for someone else while putting together a business plan and lining up things in terms of equipment and supply lines, then launch my grand scheme. I've got a sense of the big picture for the business. I need to iron out the plan for the important details that will actually make it successful and profitable.

Sign me up on the waiting list for some Late Apex Ale and a pint of Heel-Toe Stout!

Very cool. Congrats. Where do you think you'll end up settling after the Schnell gig?

That's really really tough to say. I think NorCal or Oregon are pretty safe bets. I'm also paying a lot of attention to the major breweries opening in North Carolina.

My business plan I think would play best in California or Oregon. Just outside of Sacramento would be nice. I enjoy it there.

Wonder if we can get cases delivered for the challenge ? Awesome achievement !!

Hmm. Considering the delicate nature of doing a heel & toe, I think the stout should have some kind of late-braking joke as the source of its name.

Please don't consider my comment as a condemnation of stout..I love the stuff!

Burnout Stout

Lucas Electric Rauchbier

Second Place Pale Ale (Bitter)

DNF IPA (very bitter)

Congrats! Don't listen to those guys, leave the hair long

I wish Florida was more of a craft brewing mecca.

I haven't had either one yet. The deal with SWMBO is that I don't buy anything other than cheap domestic swill until I find a new job.

Isn't there a law about failing to provide the basic standards of life?

The girlfriend likes it long. It stays. (Just not letting it grow long enough to be a hazard of getting caught in fast-spinning brewing/bottling/labeling equipment. I've heard horror stories. )

Congrats, man!

Looking forward to drinking your beer in the not-too-distant future.

I wish. I've actually been avoiding the GRM Beer Tasting thread. It makes me cry.

Can't you make a deal trading quantity for quality at the same cost? Or is it not really the money that's the problem, but access to good beer as the real incentive?

I'd really rather finally find something and just go back to work.
