Wow! It’s been almost a full month since we’ve launched our site publicly. Since then, we are closing in on the 600 mark of registered Beer Explorers (and we thank you for your support). We also have 106 Premium Sites on board thanks in large part to the Michigan Brewers Guild.
We have been meeting with breweries, beer stores, beer-centric restaurants and beer distributers. (This may be why many of my dreams are featuring beer topics.) The people in this industry are the best! They love talking about beer and often this is while they are sharing a beer with you!
I think the most difficult aspect of this entire project is staying balanced! Like most, I have a family . . . a real job . . . and many other responsibilities to keep focused on. I think that’s why I titled this post “No Rest for the Weary.” I’m not complaining as I knew what I was getting into when I committed to this project. I just want you to know that we are still committed to making this a world-class website. This is not something that happens by chance nor does it happen over-night. This takes place through hard work, dedication, endurance and encouragement.
I have had the support of two amazing partners in this project: Al and Niko. These two guys are amazing and I could not have asked for better guys to be on this journey with. They have been there since Day One and have dedicated thousands of hours (literally) into this project.
We have many features coming to the site, so we thank you for your initial support and your patience as we move forward.
What else would you like to see in this site? Let us know! If it fits our vision, we’ll do what we can to make this more YOUR site! Reach me anytime at craig@craftbeerlocator.com.
Thank you,
Craig
