Wow,
It’s been so long since I’ve posted to this blog, I almost forgot it existed. No, I didn’t stop brewing. In fact, its very much the opposite. I did stop talking about brewing as much, maybe because the newness had worn off or whatever. I’ve stopped posting recipes also, mostly because I have a few core recipes that I came up with myself. I’m very proud of them, but not ready to release them to the public. Either way, this site still gets a decent amount of traffic so I wanted to post an update on what is going on in my brewing adventure.
About 1.5 years ago, a friend of mine at work and me began discussing opening a small brewery in the Triangle area. Over that time, we’ve gotten more serious and are currently hard at work at making that dream a reality. The short term goal is not to quit our jobs or get rich, but rather to take the hobby to the next level in a big way. We are just about done building out a 1.5 BBL (46 gallon) brewery and are also trying to nail down a location. We’re searching for a bar/restaurant/whatever where we can take over a tiny section of unused space and make our own. Our name is Shade Tree Brewing Company. Our website is pretty basic, with most of the action taking place on our Facebook page at the moment. If you still follow this blog, friend our brewery on Facebook! You can follow the action there.
Good stuff, Andrew. Good stuff.
