I have a vision. I have a dream. I would like to brew great beer and start a business doing that (like three floyds and dogfish head).

I may not be good at brewing yet but I am looking to put together a team. I cannot do this alone. Together we can make it happen.

So maybe instead of myself going to get a degree in fermentation science, I can find somebody who is already passionate about brewing and start a company with them.

I'm not trying to sound lazy. I want to brew as well. My main goal, my main vision is to put together a team of people that are very passionate and WANT this dream to come true. Together through hard work and great attitude, we can brew great beer and make this happen.

Not to over simplify but if together we create a great beer, there is only one more obstacle in the way: money. I'm sure we can find a way to make this happen too.

So i am looking for people to brew with and are ready to create something great. To have our very own three floyds. To do what we enjoy, have fun, and get paid doing it.

I have read an interview with Sam Calagione and he talks about his starting out. He said that he was 25 years old and had a degree in writing (not science). He did not know what to do with his life and then he decided he wanted to start a brewery.

I take my inspiration from his story. Let's create some great beer. Let's drop the excuses and the stories and the fears and let's bring this great beer and passion to the people!

I apologize if I sound ignorant or arrogant. Thanks for listening to my rant!
