The Angry Inch Brewing Kickstarter

To all my fellow readers,

You all know that I love Angry Inch Brewing and I have written about them on several occasions. Some of you may even remember my excitement when I announced that they were going to finally open their doors later this year.

Right now, they are on track to open their brewery sometime this summer in beautiful downtown Lakeville, Minnesota. However like many starting their own small business, not everything goes according to plan.

Recently a good friend of theirs, who was also an investor, had to back out due to a life-changing family emergency. So now they need our help to cover the cost of finishing the construction, which is why they have launched a Kickstarter campaign.

With this Kickstarter, they are looking to raise $30,000 to complete their taproom build out with an extended goal of $50,000 to help furnish the taproom, purchase glassware and finish their pilot system so they can focus on making great beer. For rewards, they've included rewards which include limited edition growlers & apparel and exclusive AiBfriend membership. They've also sweetened the deal by giving people the opportunity to be assistant brewer for a day and, for the highest reward tier, being able to design and brew a batch of beer with the brewers that will be served in the taproom.

I'll say that again: You get to design and brew a batch of beer with the brewers themselves.

I am sharing this all with you because I believe that, with all the ideas and innovation they have going on, they are going to become one of the next big craft breweries in Minnesota. I remember first meeting these guys back when they were nothing more than a garage set-up and now they're on the verge of becoming a fully fledged production brewery; To say these guys have come a long way would be an understatement.

I'm asking everyone to help spread the word about this Kickstarter and, if possible, help Angry Inch Brewing reach their goal. At the time of writing this, they've raised just over $7,000 over the course of four days.

As always, If you'd like to get up to date information about Angry Inch Brewing, you can follow them on both:

The Swag Brewing Beer Candle Kickstarter

Last year I was contacted by Max from Swag Brewery, a company that specializes in craft beer-themed gifts. He provided me with some of their hand crafted beer soap for me to review, of which I fell in love with.

Now they are looking to expand their product lineup with something completely new and different: Beer Candles! Currently they have 3 candles lined up: Apricot Wheat, Vanilla Porter, and Hoppy IPA but they need our help. That's why they have decided to create a Kickstarter to help make the sales of this possible.

Should you choose to donate, there is something in it for yourself. It can be anything from a mention to some beer soap. Heck, you may even get some of the aforementioned candles! The goal is $3,000 and at the time of writing this, they have just passed the $2,000 mark; I think this is a reachable goal.

If you wish to contribute to Swag Brewery's Kickstarter, you can visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1737256457/brew-candles-beer-inspired-aromatics

If you'd like to buy some beer soap or other craft beer-related goodies, you can visit their website at http://www.swagbrewery.com/.

After having trying out their beer soap last year, I was convinced that Swag Brewery made quality products that craft beer lovers would fall in love with. I cannot stress to you enough how much potential this product has. Let's make this happen!

Cheers!
