It's finally happening. Due to day jobs, wife, kids, etc... its a been a very slow road, but its finally coming together! Over the last year or so, dtbritt and I have been gathering equipment, honing our recipes, building our brand, and searching for a location. That pace is over now as we've just recently embarked on a major push to get open. We have a tentative location, we're hosting a fundraiser/party this Saturday night (all are welcome), and we've launched a Kickstarter campaign to try and get the funding for the equipment we couldn't make or come by cheaply.
This is going to be a huge month for Shade Tree and its the reason I'm posting this now. Homebrewtalk has been a huge factor in my short but awesome brewing hobby and soon to be career. We wanted to let all of you know about our party and invite everyone to come. It will be at Niche in Holly Springs (outside Raleigh, NC) and starts at 7PM. We'll be giving out generous samples of our Kolsch and our Imperial IPA. We'd love to have whatever local HBT'ers are willing to come down and hang out with us.
Also, coinciding with this party (and another in late January), we are doing our Kickstarter campaign. Our goal with the fundraiser is to raise the cash necessary to put us over that hump and get open! We're really excited about this campaign and have some pretty sweet rewards! It would awesome if you'd go check out our Kickstarter campaign. If you feel so inclined and would like to support our project, we'd be very appriciative. Of course, there's cool swag and other things you get for backing us. And, as with all Kickstarter projects, if we don't make our desired goal, your pledge is refunded to you. For those of you in homebrew clubs, take a look at that $500 reward! You know you want it!
