A Series of Unfortunate Events, but then there was Beer
It's been insane around here. We've been hemorrhaging money on repairs and replacements. Poor Greg had to do two brake jobs in as many days. Thank goodness he has the know-how. I'd hate to think what it would've cost us otherwise.
We've literally been running from fire to fire trying to fix things before they get worse. It's a little too early to tell, but I think we finally turned the corner.
There was one bright spot that landed in our email box. My niece sent me a video her husband and his partners created for their new megatron idea. My nephew-in-law is a brew master and he's teamed up with two other guys to start a micro brewery.

They created a Kickstarter program to raise funding for their brewery. If you're a beer lover, or know someone who is passionate about his brewski, send them this link to see how they can be a part of beer history.
The marketing is clever. The logo is excellent. And the video was amazingly well done. I'm not even a beer connoisseur and I felt smarter just watching this video.
Check it out and pass this on to anyone who might be interested. You'll be helping these young fellas get a leg up in the business.
Do you know your beers? I had no idea they could be so complex and layered.

I promise I'll do the homestead update next week. I just need some time to recover.
PS Pop over to Back to Basics to see if you won one of the prizes. Thanks to everyone who participated!

My niece is no bigger than I am, (I'm tiny) so they make an adorable pair.

Jim: I will. I'm very proud of all of them. It's tough to get a business off the ground.

Angela: I know next to nothing about beer, but I was fascinated at how complex it could be. To hear my nephew-in-law talk is like talking to a geneticist.
A guy at my work brews his own and each time he does, he brings a couple bottles to work to give away to friends who also enjoy beer. :)
Good luck to your nephew-in-law.

Charlee: This is so true! I'm not normally a beer drinker, but hubby always offers me a taste of whatever he's having and there are some beers I like more than others.
Sadly, I haven't found a coffee I like. LOL. I may go to my death never drinking coffee.
Sorry about the repair/replacement hell. We're going through similar trials. Hope you've turned that corner.
I hope things go well. What we call 'real ale' is very, very sucessful over here. Who knows, these guys could be the Ben and Jerry +1 of Craft beer. Fingers crossed.

Oh, Mike. That was priceless! I hope they stop by and see your comment.
Micro breweries have a very loyal following here. I don't know how big the demographic is, but it's much loved, at least in the towns I've lived in.
Sure hope the financial wound heals ...and quick! When it rains - it pours, right? Ha!
I hope all the repairs and replacements have been sorted now. It all happens at once, doesn't it?
Have a great weekend, Maria.
:(
I know a little bit about beers because my hubby drags me to microbrews--especially when we lived in NE. LOL He loves to try new microbrews all the time too.
The few times I've tried to drink beer haven't agreed with me. If only margaritas had the same effect, lol

Melissa: I had a crit partner research early beer making. Our ancestors were awfully smart.

Shelley: I thought the whole thing was classy and polished. They did good.

Jennifer: It didn't? I wonder why. You can always go straight to the link. It really is pretty cool.

Cate: You and me were no dumb bunnies when we chose our husbands. LOL. I knew what I was doing!
