Join the fight for Georgia's Small Breweries The Problem - Georgia's beer laws remain outdated. With rising costs of goods, materials, & services, supply chain challenges, market shifts and other economic pressures over the past few years, small breweries lack the flexibility they need to thrive, and in some cases, survive. Sign the petition to join the fight for Fair & Open Access to Market (F.O.A.M. Act) The F.O.A.M. Act would: - Allow for limited self distribution for small brewers. - Reform beer franchise laws in Georgia. Georgia lacks fair franchise laws that govern how a small brewer enters into a relationship with a distributor. - Remove the daily to-go limit of 288 oz. per person. Urgent action is needed to keep this vital industry moving forward. SIGN THE PETITION HERE. https://p2a.co/chN3ry8 Want to do more? this flyer, post on social media, and forward this email to the beer lovers & small business advocates in your community. Together, we can tell Georgia law makers it's time for change!

Nearly 10 years ago we had an idea for a community-focused brewery that fostered home brewing. In 2015 we incorporated our business and proceeded with planning, site selection and permitting. In 2018 when we opened doors to customers, we were excited to be a part of Loudoun's growing craft brewing scene. 6+ years later, we regret to inform you that we've weathered too many storms - surviving what felt like the impossible with COVID only to attempt to stay afloat with annual double digit increases to cost of goods, labor and our lease which is now forecasted to more than double in the up coming months due to the high demand and short supply of zoned commercial restate (thanks to Data Centers need the same zoning requirements). We're proud of what we've accomplished but just can't make things work financially when looking at significant increases to our expenses going forward without a comparable increase in revenue. Time to cut our losses. If you have time, please enjoy these last few weeks with us. We currently anticipate June 8th as being our last day open, but things may change and we'll adjust accordingly. We appreciate everyone that came by over the years, we will miss our customers, our friends, and hope that we've left some of you with a new appreciation of beers you may not have otherwise tried or the affirmation that you too can brew a great beer. Cheers, Travis and Chitra S. #independentcraftbeer #smallbusiness #supportlocal

One can easily achieve, claim, and celebrate success with quasi-goals like the steps on this stairway representation. You can get up to any of them and be stuck there. However, celebrating getting up to any of these steps as if it is the ultimate goal is a regrettable display of folly. 👉 Note that the "control", "confidence", and "consistency" steps mean full control, justifiable confidence, and unwavering consistency of safe food supply. Control is not operations controls that can still fail and ruin full control. Confidence is not pseudo-confidence, and consistency is not assumed consistency. 👉 Note also that reaching the full control step still leaves food operations with several steps before reaching the ultimate goal of #safe_food supply. 👉 Drawing from your knowledge, experience, and from a general observation of food operations, what step on this stairway would you honestly say the global food supply system has reached?

When I visit my family in Texas, I always make a point to stop at Buc-ee's, Ltd. as we bounce between Austin and Waco. I know, right? Why would I be so crazy about going to a C-Store? Well, it can be summed up in a five-word phrase… Everything. Is. Bigger. In. Texas. From BBQ to Beaver Nuggets, an adorable mascot, and probably the largest wall of soda dispensers you’ve ever seen, Texas based Buc-ee's, Ltd. has truly evolved what it means to be a C-Store and has become a destination in itself. It’s simply massive. So it’s no surprise to see that the chain is attracting a higher share of weekend visits and a greater share of family households compared to its peers, as it has emerged as a favorite destination for families and individuals looking for somewhere to go on their days off. Great work by Samuel Roche and the team! Check out the C-Stores: From Convenient Stops to Go-To Destinations White Paper for more insights and to gain a better understanding of how C-Stores have become Go-to Destinations!
