Ethan got into this a bit earlier this week, but when writing weekly updates on what’s going on with the brewery it can be easy to forget that “construction is coming along nicely; look, coolers!” is interesting but has no real information on definite dates. This is partly because we don’t know any definite dates, [...]
Our friends at the WNY Beer Club are celebrating their 3rd anniversary this Saturday from 6-9. To celebrate this auspicious occasion WNYBC will be at Avezzano Sports Bar, which sports a fantastic craft beer selection. The dudes at WNYB…
Welcome to Squibs 5, the 2012 Tra-la-la edition. I write when the spirit moves me–ok, well, to be perfectly honest, that is a necessary but not sufficient condition. I also need to have free time and can’t write these on my smartphone, so it’s also critical to have a real computer before me. It all [...]
This week we’re going to talk about Kickstarter and construction. But! To mix it up a bit, it won’t be about us! Kickstarter I don’t know how it escaped our collective attention, but there’s a Kickstarter for a movie about the life of Michael Jackson. Some of you may be confused. Much like Joss Whedon [...]
We can all agree that craftbrewing is an artform in and of itself. Here’s what we think would happen if Banksy was less political and more beer-litical (and if we had the millions it would take to commission him to do beer related artwork).Pictur…
Now that our Kickstarter has been funded, it’s time to spend lots of money. On cool stuff, though! Firstly Kickstarter. The stickers and coasters are done, and now we’re focusing on the glasses and growlers. They’ll take about a month to produce, so we’ll likely be waiting on them before everything is ready. If you [...]
I promised you one week away from Kickstarter topics. Sorry. Item the first: Glassware Technically, this is also about shirts. But! The growlers and pint glasses for our Kickstarter backers should be ordered by tomorrow. This is essentially only waiting on me, as I have to actually create the final images for the growlers, and [...]
Comparing Ron Swanson to The Most Interesting Man in the World is like comparing Anchor Christmas Ale to Dos Equis. Ron Swanson is THE person that we want to have a beer with. Any celebrity, athlete, or inspirational figure lacks …
Building coolers yourself is hard work. It will be worth it in the end, especially because I’ll be able to say “Hey, see that? I helped make that.” As someone who does not self-identify as “handy,” this is a nifty proposition. (It is worth noting, however, that I received a wet-dry vacuum from my wife [...]
Ah, the week between Christmas and New Year’s. When nothing ever gets done, right? Well, yes and no. It’s true that we all took some time to relax and enjoy our families. After everyone had left on Christmas evening I settled in with my bottle of Heatwave, the prototype American Barleywine that Rudy had made, [...]
Now that Kickstarter is over, you’d think that we would be sitting back and taking turns diving through our pile of money, McDuck-like. Far from it! We offered the ability to give a pledge as a gift for Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus or what-have-you, and I was pleased to see that people took us up on the [...]
