Mindi is the Director of the Idaho Brewers Union but I don’t know much else about her! Glad to have you as one of the founding members Mindi! The community is brand new so I haven’t built any of the courses or anything yet but the first priority has been to get our first 100 founding members in here! Then I’ll add a weekly live group chat, Q&A, webinars and interviews etc.

Since football season started I’ve been opening the taphouse on Mondays with a little mixed success, but the last couple weeks have been dead. People will come in and tell you “Oh I’m so glad you’re open on Monday!” But you might see them once a month when they decide to actually go out on a Monday. And I don’t blame them, I was thinking about all the places that I LOVE in town, and they might only see me once a month. You can’t take it personally, and every business feels the pinch this time of year when the tourism dies down (for us). Just gotta trim the fat, limit your spending, and keep the faith!

Thanks for approving me for the group. I focus mostly on distilling and mead, but I also do aIso make a little beer and wine. I have considered opening a meadery. Maybe I will with help from a group like this.
