Big things to come

All this waiting is really starting to get to us.  We have so many ideas...we're making some great new beers in the bear cave.  It's like we have a green thumb for beer.  Everything we make turns out awesome.  Just can't get it to everyone. 

Luckily this weekend something finally came together...we have a big opportunity coming possibly.  Can't wait, literally.  Keep making tap handles in the meantime all the while wondering when we get to use them, besides on the side of my fridge which is awesome looking by the way.  I have a picture on my phone actually....

Mind the mess..There's 2 taps now though.  Have the ESB and Dunkel on deck.  Let's see what's new...Licensed in Huntsville officially as of yesterday.  That leaves our ABC license left.  We're planning on a 8 ft tall wooden bear outside our building on the Square downtown.  Don't know what the city is going say about that....it'll happen though. 

Same Bear channel next week friends, I'm confident we'll be bringing you great news.  Have a great weekend.

Tap Handles

Check out these bad boys.  Have you ever gone to a bar, sat down and looked at the spread, and was like, I can't tell what's what?  Well, not with Old Black Bear.

This is our ESB handle.  You'll be able to tell it from across the room by the Orange mirrored emblem at the bottom.  We started production on these this week after months of prototypes.  Don't have the money to purchase them custom and really don't like the stock handles you get.  We wanted to be unique just like our beer.

A little black paint, vinyl lettering, and a laquer dip and we hung em up to dry. 



These are going to look good!!!

Small Setback

So things don't always happen the way you plan it...So far, with Old Black Bear, nothing is going to plan, except the beer we make.  If we could only get it to the market.  Just when we think everything is going perfect, Olde Towne decides to close up shop, leaving us with no brewery.  I realize it's just business, but Damn, what horrible timing.  You talk about a depressing couple of days Monday and Tuesday.  To think that we were | | that close to brewing beer and planning the debut, then 1 weekend and all our ideas were turned around bassackwards. 

We didn't letting it stop us though, and we now have 2 other breweries in the works to help us get our beer into the Huntsville market.  We'll let you know who that is when we get the contract signed.  Don't think we will make our April debut timeline, but we might be able to make May or June.  Which will be good, it will be warmer and we can take advantage of the outdoors. 

Once again stay tuned, we'll get there eventually.
