After a quick start last year with our Eggnog Stout release and launch, we set a big goal for 2015 to open a physical brewery. We’ll be releasing an update each month with our progress.
Here are all the details on what we are planning and the progress so far.

Some have worked out almost exactly as we wanted first go, and some haven’t. Here are our lessons learnt so far.
