Fair Isle Brewing

I've been following them for a couple years but haven't had any beer as of yet. Seems like they had lots of struggles finding a location.

I don't give any weight to name dropping Jester King, but I do believe the world needs more farmhouse beers so I genuinely wish them the best.

I do think this crowdfunding campaign is interesting. Quite a bit different than the usual Kickstarter campaigns where it's basically all a donation. Lots of risk involved with the loan, but if they are successful it provides guaranteed returns. First time I've seen anything like it but unsure if watching wort enter a coolship is worth the $10,000 risk.

 

First I've heard of them. While I like the fundamental premise, some of it does strike me as overly hipster/trendy-ish. Will their moment be gone by the time they're ready to pour beer?

i do wish them luck, and look forward to trying their brews.

 

They’ve done free “Salon” tasting events via their mailing list over the last year or so. The people I know who have gone liked the beer.

 

I've been pretty interested in this place and am glad they found a spot in Ballard. Need more farmhouse beers

 

I liked the fireweed beer collaboration they did with jk and hope they can open and brew some great beers.

I don't like the terms from an investment standpoint so I won't be taking part in their crowdfunding campaign.

 

I was able to go to one of their tasting events. The beers were well executed. It would be interesting to see how they translate to a larger system.

 

Looks like they announced their bottle club yesterday in a newsletter and updated their website today for people to purchase.

Curious if anyone here signed up?

 

I’m done with these membership things.

 

I'm concerned no one is drinking beer in the architect's renderings.

 

But there’s like 3 fedoras in there so you know it’s gotta be good...
