I guess that rules out my 'Send Jon On A Beer Drinking Vacation in Belgium And Germany' donation campaign. Dammit.   ;)

It depends on the wording. You never know... Some local might offer you a spare bed to crash on or something.

I've donated to brewery kickstarter campaigns before, but when they do more than one...that is just begging.


The best are the "experienced homebrewers" that caught the bug about a year ago and only need $10k to get their product in the hands of the masses. Contributions below.


$1 - Good karma
$5 - A double thick fiber bar mat (fancy name for coaster) - Must pick-up at brewery, these things aren't cheap to mail
$10 - A thank you from me to you in my bathroom mirror after I count my money
$15 - Both the $5 and $10 gifts (best value!)
$25 - A hand written thank you note. We won't mail it, but it will exist.
$50 - A t-shirt with our crappy logo on it printed on rags from China
$100 - Your name on beer bottle. We have stacks of these, so buy some for your friends
$1000 - We will name a beer after you. Not one of our beers, but a beer that we will drink on Friday night after we count our money
$10,000 - We will name a fermenter after you. We've got about two dozen glass carboys, we will put your name on it and it will be there until we break it.


I'm not that cynical honestly. I like the ideas of existing quality breweries using kick starter to expand or buy a bottling line. At least in those instances your money has a half decent chance being used wisely.

I had this cousin who was much older than me that was quite a character and I heard this story about ten years ago. He somehow ended up in Mexico in the early seventies with no money to get home. He called the bar at the old hotel in my home town where everyone hung out to see if they could help. They asked everyone in the bar for donations and wired him money. It turns out they should have just given him the minimum needed to get home because the person who told me the story ended up running into him in Columbia a few weeks later. 
Don't let the bastards cheer you up.

That's hilarious. I agree on the kickstarter on existing (good) breweries too.
