[Whiskey Tribe] Careful what you wish for…

Careful what you wish for…

The Tribe’s distillery just got a massive equipment upgrade. From a new grain mill, to fermentors, to pumps - we now own an amazing kit to make interesting whiskeys. Even a big new mash tun landed at Crowded Barrel by way of ABE beverage equipment.

Buuuttttt… we have nowhere on the property to store it while we come up with the ~ $80k in installation costs. There was a wide eyed moment of “uh oh…” when the back door of the 18 wheeler opened up and we saw all of the new toys for the first time.

Deep breath. Not a big deal. Storage companies exist for a reason. We’ll figure it out. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a good problem to have. But for now, the shiny new ABE equipment is sitting outside my door - titillating me with the potential of whiskey to come.
