Comments about my demise have been greatly
exaggerated. I know its only been six months. You all have
been wondering what has been happening. Well its what it takes to
get all of our computer systems talking to each other without human (read
that as Larry) intervention. I have been mired in Microsoft Access,
QuickBooks and our own Dragonmead data system. Its tough when you
learn as you go. Progress is being made nonetheless.
Everything else has been proceeding well at the
'Mead. We're looking into some stylish new packaging for our bottled
product. That project should only take a few months. Earl has
been busy dealing with design changes from our keggerator supplier.
The prices have gone up but the units are even nicer than before.
Those are in stock now.
Erik is brewing his heart out. As the
primary brewer for Dragonmead, he is doing an outstanding job of keeping
up with demand. His able assistant Andrew is putting in as many
hours as he can to try and relieve some of the workload. We are
getting much help from Richard our bottle-master and Jeff. Jeff is
splitting his time between the Pub and the Brewing operations.
There's lots o'happening at the 'Mead these days.
Spring is surely around the corner. Larry
stuck his head outside the other day and didn't see his shadow (it was
about 2 a.m., however), so we should be seeing the springtime very shortly
at least inside the pub. We are all thankful that Larry is almost
done with his winter hibernation (he's gonna kill me).
Well its beer time. I hope you all find
some great ales and lagers to try. Did I mention that we've got some
in the Pub? Hope to see you all at the 'Mead real soon.
