This Time, Its Real

Wow, my last post was 8 months ago, during the last month we have:

Talked to a lot of bankers

Talked to a lot of people

Revised the financials a lot

Looked at a lot of buildings

Had a lot of investor meetings

Collected information from several equipment manufacturers

Began spending what will be A LOT of money

Drank a lot of beer

Made a lot of beer (relatively speaking)

After all of those activities, what have we accomplished?

We've decided to say "screw the banks if we have to wait on them, we'll never get open"

Met Mark Dunkerley of Jubilee Beer (good beer for a good cause) and have agreed to form a partnership where Mayday will brew additional styles of Jubilee Beer

We have collected enough investor money and reexamined and committed more of our own money to order equipment. We have a 30bbl brewhouse (930 gallons) and 4 fermentors being fabicated on Prince Edward Island @ DME right now. See the map above.

We have identified a bldg that we like and we are beginning to work through the details of the lease

We have firmly committed to R. S. Lipman as a distributor.

We have had a lot of fun telling our story and listening to other people's ideas

What we still have to do:

Raise about $90,000 from investors, if you are interested in owning a piece of Mayday Brewery, email me: ozzy@maydaybrewery.com

Negotiate and sign a win-win lease.

Elect a board of directors

Move our head brewer Wiz down from Chicago

Once those things are done, there is another long list of stuff that I hope to talk about as we go. We hope to be producing beer in the middle of September 2012. Stay tuned for further updates.
