Craft Beer is on the rise, Mass produced is on the decline

According to the Brewer's Association the craft brewing industry saw a 5% increase in 2011.  It has seen an increase over the past few years but 2011 was even higher.  All this news is made even more amazing given that the beer market on whole has seen a decline.  In my non-humble opinion it just shows consumers are getting wiser about what good beer is.

Location coming soon...

We are one step closer to having a location. I would estimate this time next week we'll be announcing it.  ( I'm sure saying that just jinxed the whole thing )

Will it be Lovettsville, Purcellville, Leesburg ????? Stay tuned.....same bat channel...

Hurry up and wait.  We are gonna rename the brewery that.  Its been a roller coaster of excitement and let downs.  Just when you think you found the perfect place, bam, something is wrong with it. Not enough parking, fire code problems, zoning issues, corpses in the walls, you know the usual things.  We're currently in negotiations with three different potential locations.  Choosing the right location is the most important decision.  And its a stressful one. We're more concerned with a location that matches our character than a high traffic area.  I know that sounds like a bad decision.  But we don't want to be just another store in some plaza.
