Wood Aging, A Bit Faster

In the famed Cantillon Brewery in Brussels hangs a sign with a simple message: “Le temps ne respecte pas ce qui se fait sans lui.” This translates to “time does not respect what is done without it.” The message is a warning to brewers looking to short-circuit the process of making certain labor intensive types of beer, including barrel aged varieties.
With all due respect to Cantillon, not every brewery can afford to wait years before releasing beers. (more...)
Come benefit about lessons we learned when opening our brewery. The good, the bad, and the ugly. We will take a deeper dive into the driving forces that make every brewery take twice as long and cost twice as much.
Topics include: – How we started with 200 mug club members – The benefits from building relationships with fellow breweries – Delays in licensing progress – Working with your contractors – Surprise expenses – Funding options – Opening Day (yay!) – Running out of most of our beers (boo!) – Food at your brewery – Staffing
The hope is to provide aspiring brewery owners and breweries still in planning with some real life details on what you might expect. Looking forward to sharing our story!
