That is great!  I didn't know a brewery could make a profit. All  I hear is you can't start small and become profitable. Guess you gave a big fly the bird to that Kieth. Good on ya man!!

We aren't actually profitable yet, but we are projected to be profitable after next year (but we didn't have the growler bill passing in our projections, so it may actually come sooner). We are still growing and operating at a loss. If it wasn't for a very supportive wife who works her ass off to support me and my family there is no way I could do this. I make some money, but barely more than I did the year I graduated college. And I basically worked 3 years for free and invested a lot of money. I'm not saying it is different than any other start up business, but the warnings of starting a brewery are legit. And failure is still a possibility for us even now.

What Alabama needs now is a self distribute law and cap it around 300,000 barrels. So you don't have to go years without making a profit.

Occasionally I take contract jobs that allow me to travel to fun beer related destinations.  Huntsville Alabama is one of my favorites!   Lots of great beer and good people in and around Huntsville.  I had no idea till I visited the first time, nice surprise.   Looking forward to my next visit.

I love huntsville. It's not what most people think when they envision Alabama. Birmingham is very nice too.
