I independently thought of this sort of thing and was looking around BA to see if anyone had heard of such a thing. Of course it is someone in my neck of the woods as well. Well, maybe some day we will be your friendly competitors. Good luck to you sir. This is a great idea.

I just read about this in the latest Beeradvocate Magazine. I'm farming and homebrewing up in Osceola, and would love to come help with your hop harvest. Brook - As for the CSA model, I am also interested in this idea. One place that has done it already is in San Diego, CA - The Lost Abbey. Their Patron Saints/Sinners program gets you a share in everything they produce through the year. I remember it being in the range of $200 for a year. Last I heard, they had 500 interested customers and only 200 shares. Does anyone know how alcohol laws would work for this idea? Could a homebrewer do it without getting a liquor license if the shareholders technically owned the equipment and were just paying for the services of brewing? David, Great to hear of your efforts!

As to what am going to brew? Haven't a clue...well, not exactly true, but it won't be "standard issue" beers (that's not true either - I'll be brewing for the Legion/VFW/tavern in Wilson - probably a full-flavored lager or some such). Gotta keep a few "secrets" - yes? As mentioned, I'll be making sure all who care know about the latest. And yes, the phrase "will you volunteer for beer?" is part of my lexicon...

I was throwing around the same idea, but couldn't gather the cash up to do it. If you ever need volunteers or any free help, let me know: acura_1990 at yahoo.com Dave,

Speaking of beers, although it's early in the game for you but what's your plan for a beer line-up? P.S. Did you brew at Paper City? If so, some buds were very impressed with your craft.

(Thanks Dave - bummed I missed the MBAA meeting...) Yup, the BrewFarm is in motion and beginning to gel. I really wanted to locate in MN but land prices and the more onerous alcohol laws of this state combined forces to locate in WI. That, and the land itself is simply gorgeous. Ain't too far away - door to door from the Midway to Wilson is about 45-50 minutes. Hoping to break ground June-ish - I'll be making more "noise" as the pieces come together. Thanks for the plug!
