A walk down memory lane…

On Sunday I talked about the numerous businesses that Brian, Seth and I have been involved in over the years and it brought back so many fond memories. Namely memories of our video production days. As I was going through old files on the computer I realized how many times our “production company” changed names. I know this has nothing to do with beer or brewing, but I figured I would share anyway. If I have to connect this to beer to make it relevant to the blog, we did drink a lot of it while writing, shooting and editing our videos and films!

Here we go!

This was Seth’s production company before we met.

This was my production company before we met. We eventually merged the two houses.

image
After a brief hiatus, we joined forces and two companies were formed. WTF was for films.

image
1019 Creative was for corporate stuff.

image
Then every time we entered a festival we changed our name. Because we’re cool like that.

image
New festival, new name.

image
Another festival, another name.

image
We changed it again!

image
Who knows, maybe next time it’ll be this!

So there you have it. I know it’s not necessarily about beer, but it is an insight into who we are and what we do and have done. Once we get our YouTube channel up and running we’ll share all of our little gems. Until then you’ll just have to be patient. I mean you’ve waited this long, you can wait a little longer. Geez.

Beer art? Count me in!

Amy Poos at Twice Baked Arts in Edwardsville, IL makes really cool stuff out of recycled glass. Not just beer bottle clocks, but all kinds of housewares. Of course I opted for the beer bottle clock though! I gave her a bottle and one of our Hot Blonde Jalapeño Blonde Ale labels and she baked it in her kiln and turned it into a clock! Pretty nifty. It now proudly hangs on my dad’s wall in his basement.

What we aren’t going to be

Ever since the first notion of starting our own brewery crossed our minds, we have been giving a lot of thought to what kind of beer company we would be. But to be perfectly honest, it has only been within the last couple months or so that those conversations have started to take a much more serious and contemplative tone.

grindstoneUp to this point, it has been little more than cloud talk. Things might pass randomly through one of our respective transoms, and we would throw it out there. We might giggle or laugh a bit at whatever said idea was, but it was rarely anything that was serious or ultimately usable.  The three of us each had our own areas we were focusing on, and progress was being made in each of these areas, but Regular Guy Brewing wasn’t really a holistically united entity. We weren’t quite on the same page, and our noses really weren’t anywhere close to the grindstone.

Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday and you’re not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, “Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?”

Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin’ something like that, man.

Sorry Lawrence, but as with every conclusion of the weekend, I get a case of the Mondays.

Oh well, tomorrow is Tuesday, one day closer to Friday!
