A new place called Public Brew House and Coffee Shop, which the Weekly’s David Mendez wrote about some weeks ago, took another step toward becoming a reality yesterday.
The coffee shop and nano-brewery project met it’s goal of raising $37,000 through fundraising website Kickstarter yesterday, with only minutes to spare. Will this mean more coffee and beer for Tucson soon? All signs point to “yes.”
From a description of the new brewery:
Our goal is to open up a community oriented nano-brewery and specialty coffee shop in downtown Tucson, Arizona. We intend to create a space and experience around specialty coffee and craftbeer, with priority given to creative endeavor and community contribution.
This article appears in Nov 15-21, 2012.
The goal was met with 90 minutes to “spare.”
This was a prohibited use of kickstarter. They plainly state that you CAN NOT use it to start a business.
Was my comment removed? Why?
A 2-3 barrel brewing system is always going to have a lot of trouble dealing with demand and consistency. Borderlands found this out (I think they got lucky to be able to afford buying a whole new set of larger brewing equipment), and hopefully they’ll have better luck with their new system making beer that actually tastes good and has consistent quality, and hopefully these guys can figure it out too. Same goes for 1055 and the Firefighters starting their operation at the “Slaughterhouse”.
Kickstarter was not created for or intended to fund for-profit projects. This is in clear violation of their rules of conduct.
Good luck working with the Arizona Historical Society!!
