They say in Silicon Valley you should launch your startup three times.

Three because the biggest problem you have when starting out is that nobody knows you exist.

And three because it often takes that many times before your existence sticks with anybody who cares.

With no money and a stubborn determination to only court the curious, we've relied on word of mouth to get this far.

Now, with the work to complete our upper floor on our 5th anniversary, we have reason to try, try again.

Once we can use the floor we'll be re-launching our taproom to make us more widely known in Dunedin, seeking those who care.

Because having started with the idea of being a neighbourhood brewer, we've always sought true fans of what we do.

That's why we're incredibly grateful to every one of you who comes back to our taproom.

Thanks!

Paul & Karen
