Most of you have heard, but I wanted to announce that with your support and encouragement I have recently left my "real" job and am now working the brew shop full time. It's a huge step for me and one that I hope will allow us to grow the business to new heights. Just under 2-1/2 years ago I started out with a few bags of grain in a dingy basement and now I'm one of the fastest growing and most diverse homebrew stores in Canada. To be honest I owe it in part to this community. I wanted to thank you for your continuing loyalty and hopefully together I'll be able to keep growing and expanding.
I have already fielded several questions about the transition so I'll try to hit the highlights here. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm a bit overwhelmed at this point so I may take a day to get back to you, but I will.
1. Am I moving locations? No, not for the near and foreseeable future at least. My current commute is too sweet!
2. What are your hours going to be? Not sure, definitely keeping the current T/F evenings and Saturday afternoons. I'll probably add a couple of days through the week too, since I'll be here. If you want to email and make an appointment, I can likely accommodate you through the day now.
3. What expansion plans do you have? Lots! In the near future we will be launching a new website, adding over 100+ recipe kits, expanding the hops and grain selection and bringing in new product lines (there's a really big one that just got released today). Stay tuned as we grow some more.
Thank you!
Dave
Congrats Dave!
