Finding Our Direction
So, how many out there think that the downtown area in Kingman will be a decent spot for a homebrew shop and a brewery? Originally, many years ago when this brewery idea first entered our heads, downtown's where we wanted to go. Then, we started considering a spot on Airway or Stockton Hill and ... well, it's just too expensive. And we're cheap.
There are some cool buildings for sale downtown. If I remember the city's General Plan correctly they are targeting downtown for growth. This being a tourist destination (well, that's what they want, at least), it makes sense on some level to develop that quaint and rustic section of our desert city. I'm hearing vague rumors that people are actually patronizing shops and possibly enjoying themselves. Well, I guess we'll head that way and see if we can operate under the aegis of the tourists and everyone else.
Lest anyone think this is another false hope, I want you to know that a business plan is underway and contact has been made with brewing ingredients suppliers. If the Lost Cause doesn't take off, it won't be for a lack of effort this time.
While you wait for good beer, please stop by this blog to catch up on our progress and seek out good beer links and stories. I'll start you off with this: Fritz Maytag has sold Anchor Brewing. I had to do a double take on that headline; but after reading the story I was a little mollified. A little. It's still unfortunate and I have some apprehension about the guys who Anchor was sold to. However, as the article states: "Fritz Maytag is revered in the craft beer world. He fathered the whole culture of the movement." The man knows how to make good choices. I hope this works out, too.
Go have an Anchor Steam. Now.
