"Write the check yet, Joe?" "When you're rich, you don't write checks." "If you don't write checks, how do you pay these guys?" "Straight cash, homey." (Perhaps this reference would work better in the Minnesota regional forum.)
I tried Are Wheat There Yet? and You're My Boy Blue - probably in part because I liked the names. Both were decent but not something good enough in my opinion to seek out again. Especially not at $10.99 a sixer.
From the article, it doesn't really seem like this will expand the output of CCB. More likely used for office space and other Redner ventures.
I got the impression that by moving the offices that opens up space in the main brewhouse and also gives them more storage which to me means more barrel space...
that's what i got out of it too. move all the corporate offices to the sears building = more room for brewing
I've never really understood why they make the Brew Bus beers. Maybe someone can enlighten me. Legality exceptions, etc? I would think that they could capitalize more on making Blueberry Cracker instead of Your My Boy Blue, and so on. Expanding the already recognized brand would seem the logical choice for me. Please help me understand bc they definitely don't sell the way CCB core beers do.
It probably has something to do with the actual Bus thats used for brewery tours in Tampa and South Floirda...they serve the Brew Bus Beer on the actual Brew Bus...just seems like all marketing reasons imo...which is fine.
For most when I see "all cash transaction" I read that as no financing or trading of anything but money from Redner, a payment (possibly a check) that can be exchanged immediately for cash at a bank. Considering the other Redner business it wouldn't surprise me if it really was a container full of cash!
They probably brew the Brew Bus beers either at a loss or for some kind of write-off. CCB makes a ton of dough and you need to have expenses so why not make beer to fill in the holes of the normal production and keep people working.
