Winter Warmers

So I thought we could share in thoughts of the perfect winter warmer for the upcoming holiday season. As the sun begins to fall south of the equator our little part of this planet starts to cool off, finally! After a summer of scorching heats and no rain in the LA area it sure is a nice relief when out of the blue it rains. Yes, it rained here today. I don't think the weather people even saw it coming as the accuweather app on my phone shows it being sunny.

So cool temps and rainy days signify a change of seasons for us here in southern California. It wont get cold enough to snow and freeze but cold enough to make us throw on a jacket. However, I still feel that this is a good topic.

Winter warmers! I have come up with my list of beers that make me feel a bit warmer. On the cold rainy nights or even when I cruise up into our local mountains for a ski day. I like to drink these fine beers a sip at a time. No need to pound a light refreshing brew, no, this is a time to sip and enjoy.

Merchandise

We know that t-shirts, hats, glassware and more is a big part of having a brewery. Making the first run of t-shirts was an exciting thing. I went back and forth on what style of shirt and what type of look to create and with the help of Angela and the great folks at Westcoast Artwear we came up with our signature series t-shirt. We decided that it should be a one of a kind shirt. We wont make this one again. We wanted it to be special for those who buy it.

Being create marketing types we’ve been thinking of all the funny slogans you can put onto shirts. Going through the thought process is difficult because you have to always remember what your company is about. You don’t want to be too racy or over the top and you don’t want to offend, much. The point is to make a shirt that’ll convey something a wearer may want to display.
