Hello fellow "Jabbers",
For those of you who are looking for something dirtier than the AHA/MHBA
rally to do on Saturday:
we are having (hopefully) the final demolition/cleanup volunteer event to
prep the 1854 brewery ruins (formerly Strunk, Strunk-Nyssen, and later
Shakopee Brewery) so we can get a structural engineer and architect(s) to
advise on the next moves.
Our goal is to have at least part of the building ready for home,
community, and nano-brewing by fall 2014.
It'll be really nice to save this very historic building from collapse and
bring it back into brewing after a very long hiatus. It became a brewery
and later a distillery because of the artesian spring and the nearby
spring-fed lakes for ice block harvesting.
We could really use some help, especially now before weeds and bugs
proliferate within the ruins.
The invite is attached...
Hope some of you can make it!
Cheers!
Trenk
PS: Bring workgloves
We're doing what we hope is the final demo/cleanup volunteer event at the now named "Limestone Springs" Brewery, (formerly Strunk, Strunk-Nyssen, and Shakopee Brewery) on Saturday, (see attached invite).
After the last couple of spaces are cleaned out, we can finally have it looked at by a structural engineer and architect to advise how to proceed. We want to get at least some of the space ready for home, community and nano brewing by this fall.
I am so not technically savvy about how to share the invite with the brewclub and other groups. If you would pass along the invite we would be very grateful! We really need help, especially from the brewing community.
It will be awesome to save the building and get it back into brewing before it collapses!
BIG thanks! and Cheers!!
Trenk :)
Anyone want the wort, going to the rally, but didn't make the cutoff?
You can have mine if you'll be there. It's a Black Double IPA.
Let me know and bring a carboy or keg on Saturday.
