i dont want to be asked this question any more
I am two fold on this. Because of the actions of my business partners, I would never have this opportunity to open my own brewery that was run by myself and myself only
However, also because of my business partners, things have been delayed a lot longer than we ever though
In the past 3 months, they each have taken close to a month and a halfs worth of vacation, and because of this, permits can not be signed, finances can not be finalized, designs can not be approved, logos cant be rewritten, decisions can not be made without both of their approvals, while the decisions I want to make for the company which I know are in the best interest of the business I have to argue and argue and argue for before they realize that I was right in the first place
They have absolutely zero experience in the retail business, restaurant business, brewery business, marketing or planing aspects of a brewery, or even the culture, therefore it is a consistent uphill struggle for me to get things the way I want to get them
We are now looking at a mid to end of May opening, when we were originally looking at an April 1st opening. This is because of constant changes in plans, equipment, drawings, interior designs, and a constant need to get everything absolutely perfect before we open, yet it is costing up vital time in which we are getting more and more behind the curve of the trends in this industry
It has become insanely frustrating to me to continue to see ideas that I have had and have right now for the past year since I started this project come to fruition for everyone else when I had them 6 months before people even recognized it was going to be a trend
Fruited IPA's, fuck you Sculpin, I was doing that shit 18 months ago before your recent 6 month old mass distribtion of a grapefruit IPA and your billion dollar buyout, and fuck you Southern Tier with your new 3 citrus beer, the exact same 3 citrus peels I was using in my Citron saison 3 years ago down in Florida, that you KNEW about because your head brewer saw I won an award for it
And sours, I was working on sours and berliners 4 years ago before they were even a huge deal, and I was going to be the first one in the area that did them, but we have fucked around so much that people here in York are catching on
Here is the only good thing about waiting, is that I get to watch all these fucks make mediocre beers in the area, and then destroy them with the same styles. Yet at the same time they will say "well I came up with it first"
I might be open middle to end of May
we have been trying to finalize a logo for 3 months
3 fucking months, and 7 renovations
how is that even possible?
another fucking example
just saw an article today on Reddit about the 2016 beer trends
Coffee and Cream beer
COFFEE AND CREAM BEER IS A 2016 TREND!!!!
Fuck you you fucking fucks, I was doing Glendora Stout, a milk stout with lactose and coffee beans back in 2014
god I hate beer
im moving all to cider, fuck this industry
