Friday, December 5th, Full Steam Brewery will be holding a prospective investor event/party. They are looking for five more $50,000 investors (no investments below $12,500 will be considered) and they are discouraging "tire-kickers," whatever that means.

Full Steam looks like a great project. Their niche is defining a distinctive southern-style beer based on products grown regionally in the US south. If they get enough financing to open a tavern as well, they also plan to push a signature line of savory hand-held pies, called "bullies" after their hometown base of operations--the Bull City.

All in all, I thought the brewery looked like a winning idea with a great team behind it, and I'm a little jealous of the Fullsteam guys for taking on an adventure like this--creating something new and exciting, and making or breaking it on the virtues of their own talent, effort, and desire. Isn't that what work should be? There's something very visceral about that.

You can read about it (or request an invitation to the fundraiser if you're loaded) at the Fullsteam website. Meanwhile, I'll be in my cubical.
