Frame it Out ~

Wow, it was so busy last week we didn't even have time to bust out the bi-weekly newsletter... Don't fear, we weren't neglecting our valued TestPilots, it was just busy.  From buying a used forklift (still deciding on a name/paint scheme) to framing out our entire tasting room, we had a lot going down.  Oh yeah, we also got a call from our brewery supplier asking if we could take delivery of our fermenters this week.  Suffice to say we've got a lot going on and we're getting closer to opening every single day.

So this week we're looking to receive three of our 30bbl conical fermenters, our 30bbl HLT (big hot water tank), start and finish our wiring, and get our framing inspection signed off.  Next week we plan to finish all our bathroom and internal wall plumbing, insulate the building and begin our 7k sqft sheetrock extravaganza.

The JLB equity offering is going well, and if you're at all interested in owning a piece of the awesomest brewery on Earth, be sure to reach out and ask us about the details before we close the offer in a little under two weeks on Monday March 10th.  Don't miss your chance (it may be the only one) to be a part of history!

Thanks, and Cheers!

Let it Snow ~

With two feet of fresh snow over the past week, winter has finally arrived!  After a frantic couple of weeks getting all our trench drains cut/broke/formed and poured, not to mention getting the all important bathroom plumbing installed/inspected and poured, we were ready for a little excursion into the wild... and Ullr provided with 24" of love!  Big thanks goes out to Joe Walsh, Ramon Camacho, Doug Nelson, Phillip Michael, Johnny Kimball, Jeff Kramer, Dave Tomaszewski, Shaun Paunch Maurer, Darth Hacker, Bobman, Aaron Dore, Fitz, Mark Fogg and everyone else that made it happen, now it's time for some framing.... and more snow of course!

On the beer front the second 1bbl test batch of Alpers Trout Pale Ale was bottled last week by our trusty line of bottling chimps and it turned out swimmingly.  If you're in the June Lake area hit us up and swoop by the house for a taste of this approachable pale crafted from Pilsner/Wheat/Munich/Crystal malts and Cascade/CTZ/Crystal/Mt. Hood hops... it is delicious!  Last weekend we brewed the second 1bbl test batch of our well received Hütte Double IPA and it's fermenting along nicely.  With an OG of 1.090 and a expected final gravity of 1.018 this should yield a 9%+ DIPA with a palate annihilating 128 IBU!  Oh yeah and we plan to dry hop this monster with a pound of Citra hops.

To wrap it up, our equity offering and term sheet is ready to rock and we will be reaching out to those who've expressed interest in becoming a stock holder in June Lake Brewing by way of equity investment this week.  We'll be hosting meetings with potential investors this week in June Lake, and Sarah will be in the San Diego area next week to do the same down south.  If you've already expressed your interest in investment you'll hear from us.  If you're interested and haven't reached out, email [email protected] or [email protected] for more info.

Thanks, and Stay Awesome!
