Project By
Connected as Michael Reinhardt (265 friends)
Nate and Mike met at Bible College in 2000. It was during this time that they brewed their first beer together, a Double Chocolate stout. Collectively they have brewed hundreds of gallons of fine beer. They have coauthored a website that deals with all things beer for nearly 3 years.
We owe a great debt of gratitude to Brent Gudgel for donating the video, to Ishmael Penafiel who donated with our terrific graphic, and to Josh Meyers whose donated music made the video complete.
It appears that not only are you guys awesome...we are also sharing similar brain waves. I thought of trying to enlist a few people when the time comes and getting everyone who is local to come to an event. Thanks guys. We'll definitely be in touch soon.
Mike
Also, if you guys get to a point where you need the community to come together for a barn raising type of physical effort be sure to let us know. I, for one, would be happy to help.
Recommendation regarding all those backers receiving t-shirts. For those of us that are local, you could setup an event or meeting where we can pick them up. That would save the shipping expense. Taken singly, it's not that much, but if even half (45) of the $50 backers picked them up, it could save you well over $100.
Thanks again to everyone for offering congratulations and taking part in our campaign. Again, we will be trying to go through the comments and touching base with some of you about ideas and various other topics that you've mentioned.
Congratulation Mike to u and Nate ...

I have been saying for a while that KC needs more breweries and I decided I needed to put my money where my mouth is. Can't wait to be sipping my first Wilderness beer. Good luck guys.
