..... I can brew

All I need is the money to build a structure.

In reply to Beer Baron:

Seems to me that there are a lot of people here who know how to build a structure.

With you and this project in mind.

In reply to Beer Baron:

was thinking of you here bud.

FTFY.

I will reiterate what Toyman said above. Most hot new brewpubs and restaurants around these parts are a group effort.

I've got this pipe dream of opening a combo cafe/bikeshop/brewpub. I think if my best bud golfduke (very talented brewer) and I lived in the same state, it would happen. We'd have to figure out how to keep the hipster quotient in check, though.

I'm a good wrench on a bike, have worked chemical manufacturing (though not brewing), and am excellent with the public for hosting, leading tours, customer service, etc. And I can bartend. I'd love to help run the public-facing side of the endeavor.

In reply to Beer Baron:

At the end of the piece the guy that owns the land says he would partner with someone to get it built.

Drove by that sign a couple months ago. I think it actually would be a pretty good spot.

I know back end brewery work.....

So the start of the future GRM compound will be anchored by a brewpub?

Sign me up

If you do this, and you need a guy to build bikes for you, you know where to find me.

I meant bicycles, not motorcycles.

I know of a guy who started out with a homebrew/bikeshop, but decided he needed to just focus on brewing. He ended up doing pretty well for himself.

Well then I hope you like hipsters

I wish I had a suitable skill for this sort of undertaking. I've been feeling the need for a change of scenery and have always been drawn to the PNW. A group effort GRMer staffed company would be a beautiful thing.

Maybe I don't know enough about brewpubs but, I don't see a need for a full time machinist on staff. It would be cheaper and easier to farm the work out to a local shop on an as-needed basis. I've never wrenched on a bike beyond tire changes and a basic tune up either.

Maybe I could be a maintenance consultant!

The mayor of that town has the perfect lawyer name: Bill King.

There is a shocking amount of mechanicing and fabrication needed in a brewery. In addition to qa/inventory control/bottling, i fixed trucks, fixed our canning machine, rebuilt/fabricated multiple items for boh use. It happens.

Fast Times Brewing, featuring:

• Track Day IPA

• Dragrace Double Bock

• Tow Pig Porter

• Burnout Smoked Stout

and of course

I like where your heads at Clyde.. scratches chin

I could go on. Did I mention I spent a decade doing graphic design for advertising in addition to the previously mentioned talents?
