MARCH BUILD WEEK HAS STARTED

Folks, as I am sure you are aware (from the pop-ups and the last blog post), the March Build Week is starting on Monday.  Remember, we are also closed Fri-Sun. What does this mean: 1.  eBay sales have been put on "Time Away" meaning that they will not be processed or shipped until 14 March.  2. brewingacademy.com sales will not be shipped until 14 March. 3.  If you are having something built, then it's process will be sped up since we will be focusing on just building units of everything we can.  We will also attempt to get ahead so...

Winter Holidays & all that

Winter Holidays & all that

Folks, That time of year is here!  Where we find out if the world economy is still tied to Santa's rear end (with apologies to Lewis Black for stealing his material)!
