If I missed anything need to add more, or got any of this wrong pm me, and I will update this. Remember-"loose lips sink ships"
UPDATED 9/23/13
Brewery name: Saddle and Sickle Brewing
Brewer/owner: Jim Crowley
Location: Specific address undetermined, outside Yankton/ PO Box 173/ possibly Lurchingbeast's Uncle's farm
Hours of Business: Tuesday-Thursday 4pm-7pm
Operation: Brewing setup undetermined, beer is in house only. 3 regular line up beer have yet to be determined. Fills are Growlers, or mason jars, also yet to be determined. Jim puts a sticker on them to indicate the beer.
Jim Crowley the character: Salt of the earth farmer with pull up bootstraps attitude, yet has profound artistic insights that make him a great brewer. Detests beer geeks. Doesn't like overly hoppy beer. Known to make white lightning with his homemade still. He is barrel aging some of it too.
Yankton: The small city by SS farm/brewery, in southeast South Dakota. Holds a riverboat festival that Jim takes his "Riverboat Rye" to.
BoD- Acronym for "Bridge of Discovery". The name for this beer comes from the Discovery Bridge that crosses the Missouri river that leads into Yankton. BoD is a one-off Imperial Stout. Format of the beer has yet to be determined. The discussion for the dissemination of BoD involves using hobby accounts on BA, near Yankton, to "ship" it to us. Other methods for acquiring BoD are presumably beer runs to the brewery.
Barrel Aged BoD is the second release of the BoD Imperial stout. This release will involve a fake website that will "Crash" by taking the user to a broken link when making a purchase. Those among us with a bottle will claim we we're able to buy it before the website crash. Remember to NEVER refer to "Bridge of Discovery" as "BoD" publicly.
Glassware- Getting designated SS glasses made has been discussed. Link to the website is in the spreadsheet below. More $$ contribution are needed.
Official planning spreadsheet- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arw3Khhn7SrLdEFUSU1EbHMwZkJXRUo4eEw4dEhPVGc&usp=sharing
official "jobs"
Sidetracked- Website
mixed_master7- Facebook
Minnesotaryan- label design
Domtronzero- label printing
Gene- Online technical assistance (volunteered you )
neo runner-glassware?
Thomasaurus rex- print and mail stickers for draft filled containers.
Current Objectives-
1. Brewery Logo, BoD label
2. Getting SS into BA
3. Decide on container for BoD
4.Decide on container for draft fills
5.Decide on 3 regular line up beers
6. Getting picks of Jim?, and brewing equipment, and farm
7. Need Facebook mods, when up
8. Contributions for glassware
9. Figure out Jims brewing setup (which can be what ever pics we come up with)
Strategic planning:
Once SS is added to BA we will slowly trickle in ratings, perhaps one a month. I will mail stickers for people to apply to the draft filled containers. The continuity of the sticker's look will make it more believable. Several months down the road, SS releases BoD. Domtronzero will mail us the labels. We will apply them to a pre-determined bottle format, post picks, and profit. It's important to remember to space out the rating of BoD as well.
