The Battle begins...

Like the Colonials of the 1770's, we have been through some troubles of our own. Once the good elements of our workplace drained away we found ourselves in an increasingly oppressive situation there. I was told to quit voluntarily, and then upon refusing that, was terminated on Christmas Eve of 2007. After 12 years of service, this event was shocking, and sent ripples throughout the brewing staff. I then resolved to take the chance and embark fully into exploring the possibilities of starting the brewery I had always dreamed of. Little did any of us know at the time, but this all coincided with the most dramatic economic downturn since the Great Depression. After six months further at the company, Jeremy had finally had it as well, and I suggested he consider taking the plunge. He did and we have never looked back. Despite the battering and bruising we have taken as entrepreneurs, we're still standing. Our determination has never wavered and we look to the days ahead with excitement. We are preparing for battle...
