Wild Earth makes some stunningly good beers. It is one to watch for sure. However he recently posted an enigmatic statement on Facebook:
First, I would like to extend a hearty and sincere thank you for supporting our craft and for sharing a beer (or several) with us over the past year.
We are both excited and humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response to our beers and brand, and it reinforces for us the notion that people crave quality and creativity - even more so than we could have anticipated! With this encouragement, it has become clear to us that in order to meet the demand for our product we must evaluate our operation and explore new business models that will enable us to grow to meet the level of production our customers are demanding.
To that end, we have decided to close our current operation in Roslyn at the end of December while we investigate our options. This decision does not come easy, but we look forward to sharing the next phase of Wild Earth Brewing with all of you.
Hmmm. Interesting from a couple of standpoints: simple curiosity and admiration for good marketing.
