Some examples of the stickers, labels, and beer labels my wife and I have come up with for our brewery over the last couple years. For context, we are in a small logging town in the Idaho Panhandle and the local culture revolves around the many lakes and rivers, fishing, hunting, and the logging industry. The fishing related ones have been the most popular. Show us some of your creative marketing material or Tell us what are some of your ideas!

I had fun talking to @Brett Bowe the other day. Let's have a happy hour chat next tuesday. Get to know eachother, bring your questions, talk about what members want to see in the community, or just shoot the shit as we say.

Be Honest, how many of you would start your own brewery if given the option? Not be in charge of some else’s brewery, but real ownership?

Some of my best friends I still have in my life as a (almost) 40 year old man were made with the help of alcohol. As as young student at University of Idaho, I was a small, meek, stoic introvert trying to find my path through the beginnings of adulthood. The party culture was still very much alive in 2004-2009 when I was there. Huge house parties happened every weekend whether it was with my fellow fish and wildlife classmates, snowboard club peeps, or random people I met freshman year in the dorms. There wasn't drugs, marijuana was usually relegated to a small group that smoked up a room or outside with eachother, and making friends was easy. It never felt unsafe or repetitive. It was fun, and it was how we bonded together. When people assume i must LOVE beer, and that's why i started my own brewery, they're wrong. I enjoy beer, I do love the taste and how it makes me feel, but the thing that I actually LOVE is the atmosphere and social bonding it creates. Try drinking a beer you love in a basement alone vs drinking a beer on a sunny day sitting riverside with a few good friends and you'll see what I mean. Recently the FDA changed their recommendations regarding alcohol for adults. They now recognize that social health is a thing that shouldnt be ignored. I also saw this clip from Scott Galloway on Mahers podcast that I found really interesting. Thoughts? https://youtu.be/BeTLZasgWS4?si=mE2hc0gIkE3UX-fB
