Powerball Beer Plans

No Germany? LOL

 

I would build/open a taproom in the front of my subdivision, where I could walk there. I would sell it beer as cheap as I possibly could. Only requirement to work there is to be knowledgeable about beer. Wouldn't care if I made money off of it, but it would be my bar that other people get to enjoy. It would have to have a covered and open patio that was dog friendly and serve good grub. That said I would also get a good manager to run it when I was traveling around drinking beer and visiting breweries. I wouldn't open a brewpub because I hold no illusions that I can make a beer better than the big guys. Also I would pay someone at Goose Island for approx 6 bourbon barrels and have them test the shit out of it before they blended the kegs/bottles that they sent me

 

Drink...wait I already do that. Drink better then

 

Thought about giving my $5 to powerball play. Gave it to the homeless guy in front of the store because it was much better money well spent.

 

I'd make a big investment in Tree House, with little expectations for any ROI....other than easier access.

 

If you win, let me know where to send a resume.

 

Well, once I bought my mansion, I would install a walk-in cooler with two rooms--one around 40 degrees for IPAs and lighter beers, and one around 50 degrees for cellar temp beers. Then I would make monthly trips to Massachusetts and Vermont to stock the walk-in fridge with.

 

Buy a Beach house on Pawleys Island SC, and have Heady shuttled in once a week. A big beach house.... With a pool.

 

When I win will be booking my wife and her sister on a year long cruise. That buys me one year of not having to listen that I drink too much beer or that beer is a silly hobby. Than I rent 2 tour buses equipped like they would be for rock stars. One would be for support staff (trainer, chef etc as it would be important to stay reasonably healthy if all I am doing for a year is drinking) the other I would live on for a year visiting every brewery and festival I wanted. I would also have a refridgeratated truck to haul back my bottles and kegs. I would offer a seat to any of my BA friends that would like to go for as long as they want, realizing that people with kids can not just take off for a year. Once I got a beer collection going I would do bottle shares on my bus at every town I pulled into. After a year I would meet up with my wife and lie about how much beer I drank / bought while she was gone.

 

Folks talk about buying a taproom or bottle store and while that sounds fun, the reality is that when you come into money so publicly you become a magnet for lawsuits. The last thing you'd need would be to serve alcohol to the public.

 

Buy thousands of acres. Build a nano-brewery on the property along with the greatest dog rescue facility known to man.

 

Or like the genius who was interviewed by a local TV station: Hookers and cocain, living life to the fullest, lol.

 

I have close to zero interest in starting a brewery or anything like that. But my mom and aunt have always dreamed of opening a restaurant or BnB. I'd love to finance their dream and hire a great brewer, chef, manager, and bar expert to help them do it. I'd let them have full discretion over the operation...

But I'd like it to be on a big piece of land near a body of water, where many of the ingredients could be grown/sourced, with one big stage and another modest stage for concerts/festivals. Putting on one epic festival a year, hand picking the bands, putting together my dream taplist, charging $100 for a weekend pass and $5 drafts regardless of the beer, having no concern about breaking even, then giving all the proceeds to charity would be pretty awesome!

I'm poor now and can't even get through the beer I buy. Maybe I'd stock up and throw a rediculous tasting a couple times a year.

But realistically I would be spending the rest of my life figuring out how to best give that money away. I would hate to poison my family for generations by making them stupid wealthy. People need struggle or else they invent their own, most often to their detriment.

 

Becoming the silent partner in a shitload of breweries sounds really appealing.
"Hey, we're looking at an investment into new equip.. "
" Yeah, whatever. Just toss me a keg when yer done"

 

First things first: my parents get half of whatever my final take would be. They're awesome and they deserve to live out their lives in style.

After paying for every kid in my family's college (there's about 8 kids right now and they have far more potential than I to do something amazing in and for this world), I would take my girlfriend and our 2 dogs around the world. She has never travelled, and I haven't seen as much as I'd like to.

That's where the beer comes in. Europe would probably be our longest stop. Belgium is a necessity. We would probably spend a week just drinking at Cantillon. I'd send cases back home, with some BAs receiving surprise porch bombs.

Once we return home I'd probably build myself a nice homebrew setup and learn how to clone some of my favorites so I'd always have them available.

Then of course I'd spend the remaining on one single bottle of KBBS (I'd probably need to add to get it done)

 

I would pay some of the top brewers in America to collaborate on beers and fund a brewery for them to work at. I would make sure all the beers they brew would only be at a 500 bottle limit or fewer so I could create tons of hype and be known as owning the most sought after beers on the planet. I would also start buying up as many rare beers as possible so I could have a cellar the size of a bowling alley. That's only the beginning....

 

I would basically be the Beer Forest Gump. Run around the country to different breweries. I would pay Hill Farmstead to make a beautiful saison called Jenny and think about it all the time. I would buy everyone their allotments and hire assasin to those who resell it at ridiculous prices. Then I would cut the grass at the local football field for free.

 

I would develop a small, demographically unique group of housing units, called Flophouse Suites. These facilities would be located somewhere in Vermont, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Asheville, Chicago, San Diego, and Philadelphia. Our group would strive to recreate an atmosphere as close to a frat house as possible. Costs would be fluid. International plans may follow.

 

Buy a six pack of PBR.

 

i think I would try to hire some of the best brewers and chefs throughout this country and open up the most kick ass brewery/gastropub/mancave hang out place. I'd produce enough beer and bottles so people don't need to stand in line for hours.
