It has been awhile since we posted a note so we thought this was a good time to catch people up on everything going on for team Daredevil. First, that you to everyone who has been enjoying our beers. You make everything we are doing possible! Thank you! Construction update for 1151 Main Street, Speedway It takes a village to build a brewery or something like that it seems. We are very excited to be building a new production brewery from the ground up. After several months of work we received final zoning approval on August 6th. We will now start to see some activity at the site and the official ground breaking is 10 am on Friday, August 22nd.  Our plans include a 10,000 sq. ft. production brewery with a tap room and outside seating on the 2.0-acre site. Once we fill out the space we will have increased our production capacity by about 4x to about 12,000 bbls per year which means a lot more flexibility for draft and canned beers. We will not be making anywhere near that capacity in the near future as we want to grow responsibly by maintaining our high standards of quality....

After a lot of due diligence we decided the brownfield site at 1101 Main Street was a great fit for our current and future business needs and that it would provide us a location where we could continue to grow for years to come. Timeline for Construction We have a lot to do. Right now we are working on finalizing the building design, interior design, and determining the new brewery equipment to include in the initial expansion. We will be very transparent during construction (think web cam!) so we can keep people up to date on our progress. For now plan on construction beginning later this year and for us to be...

We had a great 2013 and look forward to 2014.

This is part 2 of our story of how we built Daredevil Brewing Co.  In part one we covered the brand and marketing aspects and here in part 2 we get to cover more of the operational aspects.  Obviously this is not all the gritty details but we wanted to share enough of the important aspects so you can understand how we got here, what equipment we use to actually make beer and some of our inspiration that drives us to work days, nights and weekends to make it all happen.  Why do we do it? For lots of reasons, but mainly we do it because we love craft beer and we love sharing it with people who love it as much as we do. Making a brewery plan that worked for us When we were working on our business plan we agreed on several requirements that we needed in order to get Daredevil up and running on our terms.  These included: We needed enough production capacity to brew on weekends so we could maintain our current day jobs while building the new business. We needed a brewery that could scale to >2000 BBLs per year on a weekend...
