Message DA places 1 º 18:32 Wed 3/21/2012 Originally posted by erway There is no room in the current climate for either amateurs nor sub-par beer. You’d think... but somehow they still survive... Even here in Portland, I really don’t understand it... but they do? I’ve been waiting for the shake out... but nothing yet.

A business can push, pull, or both. Great products pull dollars, great salespeople push dollars and the very best businesses do both. There’s a lot of great pushers out there.

Message Veldrid beers 120 º places 3 º 20:18 Wed 3/21/2012 The thing that holds me back is the money. I just don’t think I could pay myself what I make now. As much as I would like to have a job that I love, I love money and my current lifestyle now more.

Message lithy beers 2996 º places 156 º 08:18 Thu 3/22/2012 Luckily (or possibly unluckily) for me, I’ve never made more money than I have brewing. So I’ll never have to view it as a poor paying job.
