Welcome to the group!

Hey everybody! I have been a craft beer lover for a long time now, and I do enjoy the different styles and complexities of great brews. I am just starting and want to learn all about brewing amazing beer, wine, and spirits. My wife makes her own wine, and I have started brewing beer. We have a dream of finally opening a craft beer and wine bar one day. Glad to be here with everyone!

Tuesday night my final(planned) son was born. the last time we had a child (middle one) I was working for the post office. I was being called and asked if I could come back to work the next day. I told them no, but I was already committed to starting my own brewery so I didn’t give a shit if they were mad about it. Start your own business. It’s scary, hard work, and thankless. But I’ll never miss a big moment again

Brewing today on this beautiful sunny Sunday because we’re having a baby on Tuesday. Our best seller is down to a single half barrel keg left and I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re sold out for a week before I get it done. When you’re the owner and brewer you just gotta get it in when you can fit it in.

Can’t find a building? Build one yourself. The shell of this building was around (ballpark) 24k delivered to the site, paid a crew to put it up for around 4k, took em 4 days. Obviously renting a restaurant or something would probably be ideal (already set up with all the “food” production requirements in mind) . But if you’re in state and/or county with a hands off mindset like we are in Benewah county Idaho you can easily start any business you want at home. No zoning. Our brewery runs off the same well as the house. We did have to put in another drain field and septic. We still produce the beer here and self distribute and transport beer to our retail location. In Idaho you can currently have TWO retail locations on the same license if you want.
