Hmm, the company who owns a piece of land we were considering for our brewery (whom I figured were tactically playing down the chances of them selling it to raise the price) have emailed us with a price.. it isn’t bad, we could negotiate it down a bit but certainly affordable.. if our preferred site turns out to be a no go (though it still very much seems like a deal can be made).

So looks like we are down to two sites, one preferred and one back up, but importantly both I the village we intend to live until we evaporate into the ether. Totally different projects depending on which we get.

We discovered that a close high school friend of my wife’s works with one of the two sons of the owner of the preferred site and he is the same age as me and a seemingly approachable and friendly guy.. seems pretty upbeat that the property could be used for a brewery.. I think we may call the owner tomorrow for a catch up.
