ideal situation would be brewing for an already successful beer pub.  you just make the beer and it is served on site.  that is, it would be ideal if they'd pay me my current salary

Right... or a restaurant that wanted to expand into brewing and you take care of the brewing while someone else deals with the food.

yeah - that's what I was going for.  a place that was already serving beer but wanted to start serving something made on site.

It would be cool if someone had a vision for a restaurant/brewery and had the restaurant side down and then called in the expert (TheGuv) and said, "Guv, tell me what you want in your brewery and we'll get it all set up for you to come in and brew..." and then you could deal with the brewing side while someone else had the food side figured out. Then after getting your feet wet that way, ditch all that and open your own place and go to school on all of the things you didn't do right the first time. There, that's the ticket.

I think I'd prefer to win the lottery and start a brewery where I didn't care if I made a ton or any money.  I'd sell on site and have a band of loyal followers - alchemist style.

Just make sure to pay attention to those pesky laws so you can have your on site sales!

Actually, at least as of a few years ago the BA showed that restaurants that added a brewery didn't add any profitability. It was a wash.

The new assistant to Assclown or Heist? I heard Heist just hired a new assistant brewer.

 

Alexa is the new assistant brewer at Heist. I've given up on butter bombs that Assclown brews.

Everytime you guys reference Assclown I envision they're beer bottle having a picture of Michael Bolton on it.

I'll say this: If you're brewery name is Assclown, you better make some damn good beer.

The line for their merchandise is longer than the line for the beer at the local festivals.

Wow .. I did not realize this was a real brewery. I assumed it was slang for some other place.

Well if the margins are higher on their merchandise then maybe it's a brilliant marketing strategy!

When you say Michael Bolton I think of this. Love this video

It's real and we use that term around here enough that I would swear it was someone from here.

I don't even want to do the brewing...too much work.  My current consulting gig is I write them a recipe, they write me a check and brew the beer!

Damn. Do you work with them on taste eval and modifiaction/customization for their equipment and size?

a friend did that for awhile, to feed his brewing habit

The recipes are written directly for their equipment and size.  it was kinda daunting at first, but I lucked out and the first one came out great so I knew I was on the right track.  Once I do that, it's up to the brewer to execute them and there have been some problems as he learned the system.  Even when they didn't turn out as intended, they've been pretty good beers getting good reviews and selling well.  Here's a story about him from the local paper....https://registerguar...-to-it.html.csp

So is there anyone from your club going to be brewing there as well?
