    $5000 level - you can lightly touch Sam's shoulder while he eats his mini sandwiches.

    Am i the only one who thinks its a worse business decision to openly mock the business decision of a fellow small brewery trying to make it? I don't agree with the choice to do a kickstarter either but the comment from a sisyphus employee doesn't seem to be in the spirit of beer advocacy and camaraderie amoung small craft brewers.

    Sisyphus employee??? I've heard anything and everything about myself/business decisions told directly to my face and online. If you can't stand criticism, don't get into business. I think kickstarters that offer shitty rewards suck, in and out of craft brewing.

    Sisyphus has a comedy club so I find it pretty damn funny. It's just beer.

    Wild Mind no "S" at the end. The owner gets annoyed about that. But I agree the beer is really good.

    I'm not even sure what this means. He was creative and found a way to improve his bottom line and that's somehow similar to asking for people's money for nothing?

    He's obviously passionate about owning his own business and doing what it takes to make it. Personally, I completely understand why he might find it utter crap when another owner doesn't want to take on the responsibility themselves and ask for a free handout.

    The mock comment of him having his own Kickstarter crowdfunding is what I found the most amusing

    I think he was stating he understands my goal to coelesence the vapor of human experience into a logical and viable comprehension.

    Clearly these people have never had a conversation with Kris.

    Sam, how much does it cost me to get to come up with one of your knock off beer names that everyone makes fun of?

    Love,
    Beau

    then why would you seek a bank loan, that requires repayment with interest, when you could potentially get that money handed to you from patrons and customers?

    I think there was a 5 gal carboy I filled with $$$ the last time i was there. I think it was for the *sstoy painting but I'm sure Sam can use it for anything. Unless you need credit or get something back, there are ways to help.

    After people being burned by Four Firkins I don't know if I would give anybody my money.
