We're finally there! I just want you to know
how much I appreciate all you did to make Fin City Brewing Company a reality!
Patrick, Ryan & Mike, your efforts over the last two years have been
tremendous. From day one when we sat down for the first time to talk about the
possibility of the Fin City BC, you’ve all been so kind and supportive and have
gone well above and beyond any expectations we had. Additionally, what I truly
appreciate is your positive attitude and steady, reassuring manner. For anyone
wanting to get into the business of brewing, actually getting started is almost
an impossible feat. It truly has been quite an adventure and at times trying.
However, it has been an important time for our brewery and working through this
with all of you took the worry off our list. I was…and am…immensely grateful
and I’m looking forward to our journey.
I want to send a special
thanks to Mr. Shepard. Without your kindness and belief in Patrick, Ryan, Mike
and me this would not have been possible.
Doug Griffith (www.XtremeBrewing.com), what can I say? To
all of us at Fin City BC you have been invaluable! To try and put into
words how much I appreciate your efforts in helping to get Fin City BC up and running would be an
immense understatement. All I can say is that words fail me, but you didn’t.
Thank you for all you’ve done.
To Brian Brushmiller & the
entire Burley Oak Crew – On behalf of everyone at Fin City Brewing Company I
would like to express our heartfelt thanks. We were and continue to be humbled
by your help over the last year!
To my Dad, Howard. Thank you for teaching me everything I know. Without learning everything I could from you over the years, I would have never had the courage to do this. Thanks for being you and teaching me the importance of hard work and commitment.
Thanks to all of our friends for your support and encouragement. TJ Meyer, you've been there since day one and I will always be grateful for your sense of humor & friendship. Thanks for being there and helping me get started with this adventure!
To my wife (and Asst.
Brewer) Michele, thank you for believing
in me. Most wives would have thrown their husbands out into the streets for
ruining a perfectly good paint job in the laundry room with an “Experimental
Stout” explosion! I promise I will repaint! Simply put, you are my rock. I am
and always will be in awe of you. Without you by my side, I would not be where
I am today. Since the day I met you, the only thing I ever wanted to be was
together. Thank you for saying “I do.” Those two simple words changed my life!
Cheers!
Vinnie
