Yeah, Patrice's local municipality wouldn't let him brew out of his home. He had a petition against him as well with people all worried about rat infestation, beer getting into the town water, etc. :crazy: [/quote]

How weird is that? I can understand worrying about rats (and I guess you really could have a rat problem if you don't handle your spent grains well), but beer in the town water???? Where's the down-side?

Yeah Patrice must have some really strange neighbors. Not one of my neighbors showed up to oppose my plan, It took a grand total of 3 minutes to get pushed through.

Yes, I was aware that it was a Moncton thing. I'm just glad that their backward thinking wasn't contagious. I suppose if Patrice had been trying to set up a call center, he would have been approved for all kinds of grants and forgivable loans.

What I meant was that we sat before the same council, the only difference were his anal neighbors..lol. And that call center comment is right on the money, good one.

So today has been kind of an odd day. This morning, I got a call from a reporter from the Telegraph Journal. She read the meeting minutes from my Quispamsis town council meeting and wanted to do up an article about me wanting to start a nano brewery in the area. We talked on the phone for a little bit and I answered a bunch of questions for her. A couple hours later, her and a photographer came to the house and took some pictures of me. One of the pictures that they took was me pouring off a beer from my kegerator.......which of course I made sure it was in a Brewnoser glass. :D

Anyways, was quite surprised by all of it today. She mentioned that the article will probably be published tomorrow in the Telegraph Journal.

I asked her that and she stated that it would be for sure. Although, I don't have an online subscription to the TG.

Nope, not yet. I spoke to the reporter yesterday and she said that the article would be in today's or Monday's paper. I wasn't in there today so I guess it's going to be Monday.

The article appeared in today's paper. I don't have an online subscription to the Telegraph Journal so I can't post a link. I just snapped a pic of it instead.

Thanks for posting that Shane.

Good write up. Too bad she didn't include the fact that you recently won a gold medal for one of your brews at a top level Home Brew competition.
Nice glass... where did you get it from I wonder....... :headbang:

Congrats again. :cheers2:

That is awesome. I hope you're successful with it, and you'll have to let us know which establishments will be carrying your brews.

Congrats man, best of luck.
