I own land in Columbus. I love Montana. A beautiful state.

What's the name of the brewery in Missoula. They make great beer there.

I am in  a Beer wasteland   We have a few PNW brews around here, but not much. There is a health food store 90 mile to my north that has a small, but decent selection. I tried Lagunitas  IPA a couple nights ago, there was mold on the cap! Not impressed, to say the least. They do have 7or 8 Rogue beers, but nothing east of the Great Divide. If I ever get to a big city, I have a feeling I will be searching for many different brews.

Whereabouts are you?

This artist known as "The Godmother of Punk" is an American singer–songwriter, poet and visual artist, who became a highly influential component of the New York City punk rock movement with her 1975 debut album Horses.

Patti Smith singing "Because the Night", which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978.

She is one of my favorite female singer/songwriters.

They had a new album, Back from the Dead, was released on June 16, 2009. The album consists mostly of re-recordings of songs from the original film's soundtrack, as they would have sounded had they really existed and been recorded in a studio. So they say as I haven't heard any of that recording yet.

Yeah, too many brewpubs use the beer as a gimmick only - you have to be a great restaurant to be a good brewpub. The beer is only secondary. If I were to open a brewery it would be to focus on the beer only. I'd love to do a small tasting room with some appetizers or something - but I HATE restaurant work. Maybe someday down the road I could see doing that if someone else was willing to run that side. Right now, if I open a brewery, it will be production only. As Brewboy said, there's money to be made in production breweries - otherwise there wouldn't be any.

The implications are mounting.   

Is it going to be a 7bbl system to start.

So for yesterday's brew, I jammed some Frank Zappa, Steely Dan, and Umphrey's McGee

I think last time I brewed to Zappa a little too much Cosmic Debris went into my fermenter...... 

For the better or for the worse?

Good move. You will be amazed at the freedom of choice and quality of beer.
