The rumor and random babble thread

Post by mr x » Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:38 am

A thread for random rumors.

One of our members was out to the defunct New Scotland Brewing, and apparently, some people are kicking the tires. The building supposedly has a very expensive brewery floor...

I wondered if this was still there. Is all the brewing equipment still in place? Do you know a contact to look at this if it is?

I found the realty ad, I thought the gear had sat with the building for quite a time. Be nice to see something start up again.

I think you were looking for a Business Plan for another operation, a CO-OP.

But I'm in, you can flush my money as well as any other investment guy.

If you're serious about buying an old brick building to start a brewery in get a church. We could start a Belgian Brewery in it and maybe even get tax breaks.
