We're Making a List and Checking it Twice!

Hi Y’all,



We’ve got our final list together on the tasks that need to be completed to get the brewery up and operating. We’re hoping to have all of the boxes checked within the next three to five weeks. It feels like traction…



We’ve done a huge amount of work with the Louisiana Small Business Development Center (https://www.lsbdc.org) in Metairie and they have really helped us streamline our business plan. In addition, they love craft beer; we think is a win-win for our business and for other up and coming craft breweries in the State. We plan to give our advisor from the LSBDC a tour of our brewery this week.



We’re just about ready to submit our TTB paperwork, our website is coming along and we’re trademarking our beer names.   We’re working on some of our label art and language so we can get COLA approval and order our labels, cans, etc.



On the beer brewing front, we are working on some additional prototypes and plan to share some of these brews with our friends, family and fools network. Mark is heading to Flying Monkeys (http://www.theflyingmonkeys.ca) in Barrie, Ontario for a week to work on a production brewing system and the rest of the team is working on the task list. We’ve been pretty fortunate and have added several additional key investors; this has been a godsend.
Well y’all, cheers for now. As we get closer we’ll try and keep the blog a little more up to date.
