Darren Conner is leaving Great Fermentations to start a brewpub with two other people.
"It's with some sadness that we announce that Darren, our long-time brewer and general jack-of-all trades will be leaving us. Darren is going to be the proud new owner/brewer of a brewpub here in town! So, while we lose him as an employee we will still get to enjoy his delicious beers in the future. All of this opens up an awesome opportunity for someone out there to come and join the GFI staff. It is very important that this person is currently an all-grain brewer or is serious about becomming one in the very near future. Taking over warehouse operations as well as helping customers will be the main focus of this position. If you are interested send an email to brian@greatfermentations.com and be sure that the word "job" is in the subject line. Thanks Darren for your years of helping people make Great Fermentations!"

Lew Bryson notices California Wine is Upside-Down. In a riot of apt mixed-metaphors, he concludes "Stop making pricey beers? No, absolutely not: it's working...for now, and the money's good.

But you don't see mammoths, sabretooth tigers, and giant beavers around any more, do you?"
