Update #9: Final Day - Time to Celebrate!
Today is the final day of our Kickstarter project. It's been a trying 60-day journey (last week has actually been enjoyable), but our assumptions that pushed us to start this project in the beginning held true. We assumed that Mississippi wanted another brewery, and we thought surely that the Jackson area would support a local brewery. You all turned our assumptions into truths - without your support, none of this would be possible. We can't thank you enough.
As we stand here during the final hours, we can proudly state that Mississippi deserves more great beer options that are brewed locally, and we at Lucky Town Brewing Company look forward to filling that void!
We invite you all to join us this evening at the King Edward Bar & Grill so that we can thank you personally. It's from 5-10pm, and everyone is invited to attend. Come listen to live entertainment, meet the founders of Lucky Town Brewing, and celebrate with us!
As a token of our appreciation for our supporters, we will be providing a limited supply of FREE BEER for all Kickstarter backers of $25 or more! The King Edward Bar & Grill will be open as well for all food and beverage purchases, and Lumpkin's BBQ will also be serving fresh brisket sandwiches.

We hope to see you there!

Connected as Chip Jones (1342 friends)
Living in Mississippi, the selection of beer has always been limited compared to the rest of the country – but that does not stop those of us who seek out the diverse supply of the world’s greatest beers. Some drive across state lines to acquire the finer choices at festivals and suppliers alike, while others exchange trades with those from other states in search of the locally forbidden. For those who truly take matters into their own hands, homebrewing beer becomes the purest form of gratification.
Driven by an extreme passion for both innovation and beer, our Brewmaster took what was once just a dream and decided to create a beer that would not only break state laws but also help change the very same laws that Mississippi has let fall behind. For eight years, he brewed beers of many different styles as a hobby - and with each tasting that he would hold at his home, the crowds grew larger. Eventually, he would be convinced that this beer should be available to those patrons who also appreciate the finer beers of the world.
Lucky Town Brewing Company was founded on this very notion – to craft beers that break boundaries between the working men and women of Mississippi and their wish for locally produced premium beer. With that mission, Lucas Simmons decided to grant those wishes by sharing his passion for crafting beer in 2011.
At Lucky Town, our motto is to Be Bold. Not only are we being bold by starting the brewery, we are encouraging our customers to be bold as well by giving us a chance to enhance their lifestyle. This in turn enhances our aspirations for the brewery. We are breaking free from boring routines and unfulfilled goals, and Lucky Town wants local beer drinkers to do the same - break free from the norm.
Be Bold. Rediscover Beer.
Congrats! I am so excited for this project to be realized!
