Thanks to everyone who made this happen.  Make no mistake, we worked our tails off, but you made it a reality, and it would not have happened without you.  This is just a brief update, and Nate and I will write something quite a bit more full very soon.  We are truly grateful and in awe of the support.  However, I just quickly wanted to cover two things.  

One, you should receive an email indicating that the funding has been successful along with something from Amazon saying "Your payment to Wilderness Brewing has succeeded."  Hopefully, everyone got that.  Otherwise, you should get something from Kickstarter telling you how to fix an issue if you have one.  In addition, your credit card company may watch for suspected fraudulent charges.  If that's the case, just tell them that you helped get an awesome brewery going and that the charge is actually fine.  Point is, please just be sure that everything processed correctly (more than likely this is really the exception and most of you are just fine). 

Two, many of you have left a note of congratulations.  We intend to answer everyone.  Others of you have left questions.  We intend to answer those as well.  Some of you want to talk about how we did it and Kickstarter, etc.  We intend to answer everybody.  Please know that if it takes us a bit to get back to you that it isn't a slight...there is just a flurry of activity right this second.  Our hope is to get back to everyone mid-day or so tomorrow.  If this poses a particular issue for anyone, post something with "urgent" or something like that.  

In closing: I used to debate what my favorite number was...I think I've settled on 372.  We owe each and every backer a debt of gratitude.  Our hearts are full.  

Mike

    At this level you will also get a brew named after you. We will also have a custom tap handle made for this beer we will only brew once. Then the tap will be placed at the brewery and on display for the ages. You get the two personalized pint glasses, which is already pretty cool. But your glasses will have the name of your beer. Of course, you are automatically a Wanderer's club Gold member.

    This level is the same as all the above except you get to call the style of beer. Also, you will have the choice of either housing the custom tap handle at the brewery or having it sent to you. In addition, you will be invited to a night of tasting rare beers at our brewery. Expect some surprises.
