Monday 6/22 Update

I think I am a good week or two away from some Monday updates with some real substance. I have a trip to Boise starting tomorrow that will give me a lot of time to make contacts in Boise and get the ball rolling a little more. I probably should make a list of what I need to get done, because it could easily turn into an unproductive trip. I have two informal meetings I am working on setting up with prospective investors. Not really asking for money at this time, but a time to let them in on my plans and where I am at. Of course there will be beer there and a great time for me to practice my pitching skills and beer education talks.

I have some initial logos done, but it still needs some work and because of that I wont post it on the blog. As soon as I get something I like, rest assured it will be on here that day. The biggest problem that I am having is that I cant really pinpoint what I want. I will show what I have at my meetings to get feedback and ideas. A few rounds of revisions and I will have something.

I stopped by one of Seattle's nanobreweries last week, Gilligan's Brewing, and had a talk with one of them. They have an interesting concept going. They are not full-time brewers and do everything on nights and weekends as more of a hobby, but do sell their beers. The set up that they have in no way will turn a profit, but it gets them into the market none the less if they want to expand in the future. I need to go down again when the Seth Gilligan is there because he knows the answers to some of my questions (licensing etc for a small operation). Once I go down again with a camera/flip cam I will do a full post about the brewery.

I brewed last week and wrote a post on it, but since I didn't finish it and post it yet, it will be scheduled to come up either tomorrow or Wednesday.

All for now...
