Muddy Creek Brewing Co. Brewery Build- Start to Finish Thread

[MuddyCreek]

Well, we seem to have survived the opening of a major food-chain restaurant.

Last week was a bit of a slow week for us as Buffalo Wild Wings opened. We saw a 2k drop in our weekly revenue, but this week we bounced back so that pleased us. It certainly gave us an idea of what to expect when the next brewery opens in a few more weeks.

Fortunately, even with the revenue drop we're still profitable. However, we certainly want to keep pounding the pavement and seeking out new accounts to branch out new revenue streams. I won't lie though. It was nice to see the taproom full again after the Wild Wings opening...

Good deal!

Ask him for the chlorine capacity and brand of each carbon block. He may not be familiar with the term "chlorine capacity," but it is an industry standard term. This is what he may have been quoting to you when he mentioned the 10,000 to 15,000 gallons. But if you use inadequate sediment filtration prior to carbon blocks, they can clog with sediment long before their ability to adsorb chlorine is exhausted.

Have you approached BWW about an account? I know the one in Rapid City carries at least one beer, sometimes more, from Crow Peak and the one in Missoula has a few taps dedicated to Missoula breweries. If they're gonna steal your customers, at least they could be serving them your beers!

Oops, that above post should have been put in the other thread. I'm going to move it and will respond there...

Man what happened? I hope this isn’t your brewery.

Any update? Hope all is as well as it can be.

I'm sorry to see that. I followed this thread from the beginning and hoped to visit one day. I know it's early, but any thoughts about rebuilding?

This is a plot twist I didn't see coming. I hope this isn't the end of the story, not the ending I was looking for.

We have insurance.
Claim process is a Bitch.
We don't know what happened. Investigation underway.
We were talking with investors about expanding. We are now working out our next steps.

If anyone can share this, it would be truly helpful. I will keep everyone updated.

I hope this is OK to post but I just found out the story on this post: no one hurt but the brewery is toast. This link leads to a fundraiser.

Meeting with our ins. consultant tonight. We should begin to see how badly screwed we are.

Keep your head up- you guys started a brewery. You got this

Rebuild!
It could be even better now that you're in a groove on your commercial brewing process!
Possibly find an even better location and better optimized equipment.
Good luck.

All things considered, how about 10% off on your water treatment equipment?

Thinking bout you guys- how’s everything?

 

[Konadog]

Not to bring up bad memories (preCovid) but does anyone know how things turned out?

This was one of my favorite threads and I don't like how it ended
