Man I am REALLY happy for you! 40 people is a little small, does it have space outdoors so you can have an outdoor seating "cafe" type vibe going? Is there any kind of space for a 1 person acoustic setup? We find that people really seem to like acoustic sets on Friday or Saturday nights...

Ok, so I know I just sounded like a total ******* there. I'm really sorry about that. It wasn't my intention. I love your spirit. I really do. Just like you and all the other guys on here I am completely pumped about your dream and your attitude. I am thrilled that you've maintained your...

Amazing! Alright. So I have some "Thanks" to put out there. Cape and others gave some very good information about the desperate importance of looking into local, state and federal code before you dive too deeply into a brewery business venture. When I first started dreaming about Muddy Creek...

Good times! We received a couple brand new carbonation stones just the other day. And we got in a brand new pilot brewing system a week or two ago, but we need to return a couple components for replacement so we won't have it up and running for another week or two yet. So ironically, we...

Night Train! Extra boozy, by chance? ;-)

I'll give this a whirl if you're still at it. Label rendition: Seeing Other People, ESB Oh. I might be out of contention. Seeing Other People is an actual commercial product. Sorry. I just thought it would be fun to see your take on the label. (If it makes you feel better, if we choose...

An Ri Red! An Irish Red Ale that I try to have ready for St. Patricks Day. It's almost always ready by July. Are you picking up what I'm puttin' down here? As poster #2 said, time can very often be your very best ally. Let it sit and see if it improves. If not - Chalk it up to a bad...

In Livingston, you have Katabatic Brewing. They're great! Not only are the owners really amazing folks, but of course the beer is top notch as well. We're heading off to their 2nd annual "Tap Into Montana" festival in a couple weeks and I expect it's going to be as wonderful as the first...

For your viewing pleasure: A friday evening, followed by our Black and Tan featuring Muddy Creek Chocolate Stout underneath Dirty Blonde Ale. Next up you see our own Butte Original I.P.A. Then you have a couple shots from last yesterday's St. Paddy's day festivities.

Hey, been thinking about you, wanted to check in and see how you're coming along! We had a pretty extraordinary day yesterday. Of course we expected as much. St. Paddy's day in Butte is something of an epic adventure, particularly as it gets closer to the weekend. (If you can get here next...

St. Patty's day in Butte approaches! Ought to be a good time!

Well, I HAVE to name the beer, obviously. But even when I was making it at home I enjoyed coming up with names. That was a good part of the fun. Some notable ones. Lawnmower: from an epic failure. I used actual lawn clippings in the latter part of the boil. Never do this. EVER. Drunk...

It was a fun evening. The distillery in town opened 4 years ago on the 29th. so they celebrated their anniversary as well. We did a cross-promotion with them. One of our drink tickets taken there got a discount and one of theirs got a discount with us. They also used a keg of our ginger...

We had ourselves a party! (Saturday was our 1 year anniversary!) Heather Lingle and her band kicked ass! No two ways about it. The beer flowed, the merch flew off the shelves and the food was enjoyed by all. It was all around a great evening. We had a fine time and even toasted our patrons...

No offense taken Kombat. Actually when we began talking about the business plan (and this may be in the other thread, if it isn't it ought to be) we actually purposefully PLANNED on brewing really safe, made to style beers in the first year. We did not intend to be particularly bold. Our...

As I said, I understand where Kombat is coming from. I was pretty concerned about the whole thing and how it would be received from our more hardcore crowd. But we're not "making" anybody do it. It's an occasional event at best. We tried it out to see how it would go and not surprisingly...

It's true Kombat. I won't argue the merits or detractors of extracts in beer. I would not recommend making an alteration to a barrel aged porter or stout. If a lifelong bud light or coors drinker wants to make an ammendment to a simple blond or a mild wheat beer - I'm not going to kick them...

Well the purists, of course, are somewhat horrified at the idea of extract being added to finished beer at serving time. I can understand that. Even appreciate it. However we are merely trying to accommodate a group of people who want to try something a bit different. We don't do it...
