June Lake Brewing Update 12/10/2013

June Lake Brewing
Open June Mountain ~

Mountain Life Update: Mark your calenders because June Mountain Ski Area is set to open this Friday the 13th!  We're really excited to get back up on the hill, so find us on Friday or Saturday for a little post ride/ski beer in the village.

Progress Update: our intrepid team of design professionals have addressed the comments that came back from plan check regarding our remodel permit and have resubmitted an updated design.  What this means is we should hopefully have our final building permit by the new year, and will be able to start our interior build out in preparation for equipment acquisition (currently on order) set for late spring of 2014!

Beer Update: Our tasty "Not So Hoppy Holiday Ale" is back this year as one of our last pre-launch testbatches.  Brewed with Pale 2-Row, Munich, Aromatic, Carmel/Crystal, Chocolate, White and Torrified Wheat malts, along with nutmeg, vanilla bean, fresh ginger, cinnamon, juniper berries, seeds of paradise, sweet orange peel, cloves, honey and holiday spirit.  This 6.1% ABV beer is our favorite way to kick-off the holiday season, and it deviates from our rather hoppy disposition. Kickstarter Update: As you probably know from our MEGA barrage of updates and emails we gave it a valiant effort, but in the end didn't hit our JLBKickstarter goal.  This means none of the pledgers are being charged, and even worse we won't be receiving any of those pledges.  Overall it was a great experience and we accumulated 300+ new Facebook friends.  That being said we're still starting this brewery, and have had 72 pledgers commit to over $10k of our original pledge amount.  That's almost 50% of the amount reached during the campaign!  So if you pledged to the campaign and you're still interested in fulfilling that pledge email [email protected] and we'll make this thing happen.
 
Thanks for all the support, and Cheers!
