Well, fuck. That dream is done.  2020 just keeps kicking me in the balls.

Ok. OK. Maybe some Blue Skies Brew.

Ya...unfortunately Blue Skies didn't happen.  My investors were all in the oil and gas industry.  The day we went to sign on the building all my investors went broke.  I guess it was better than the day after.

I'll be taking a class for the motorcycle and I grew up around guns but I'm taking a refresher course at the range. Thanks for the concern and suggestions.

Next week the paper work will end an almost 18 year run.  This is what I got so far for my divorcee starter kit.  

1. New Ruger Security 9 on tomorrow.  (I'm not debating guns just stating a fact, so this should be good for The Bonfire )

2. New tattoo next week.

3. I'm slated to get current in September and finally grab my B Licence. 

4. Motorcycle this spring.

 

Okay gang, what else am I missing?  What other ridiculous things should I be planning for the next year?  Maybe a trip to Lodi?  

Would love to see those x-rays. Sucks that it take so long to heel.

Thanks everyone for the info! It's good to know that others have tried to stop by slamming their asses in to the earth. :) I just got back from the Dr's. Fractured Coccyx! They gave me some nice narcotics so I can sleep and they said no Skydiving, running, heavy workouts for 4 weeks. :(

Due to a series of poor choices on my part, I failed to stand up my landing on Saturday.

Looks like a bruised, broken or dislocated tailbone. Anyone deal with this before? If so how long until you jumped again? I haven't gone to the doctor because I'm pretty sure all he would do is poke me in the pooper and give me some pain meds.

I find it best to get medical advice from strangers on a forum.

I haven't slept in 2 days because I've been putting the final touches on our show, Destination Beer. Take a look gang, its got beer, food and travel all wrapped up into 30 minutes of pure joy. I was the director of photography and finishing editor. Yee freakin haaaaaaa, so glad to have it done! Please watch it and share it if you like it. I'm going to bed then hitting the tunnel in the morning! Its not a picture and it hasn't been fun but here it is.

I hope its amazing!

Just brewed up a tasty Bourbon/Chocolate Stout! This dang brewery is taking all my time. Hopefully I'll get to jump next weekend.

I've got a brewer buddy that actually has a recipe. Not for the public of course. Weed, alcohol and coffee. He calls it the triple threat.

Thanks everyone for the input! I've taken all of your thoughts into consideration when I was talking to the design team. We are working on color schemes right now as well.

Some have messaged me with a concern that the logos do not express speed, excitement or an overall extremeness. Rather than go the route of Go Fast or Monster Beverages we are looking at a more relaxed retro branding. Think, 1950's national park posters.

Our beers are not things people enjoy when skydiving, rock climbing or mountain biking. They are for when the day is over and we are kicking it around the fire with our friends, talking about the day's adventures.

Hope all that makes sense.

Thanks again, Everyone! I can't wait to serve up tasty tasty beer this fall!

I'm a fan of the last one. Care to share a recipe I can clone at home?Smile

We should have the recipes finalized in the next couple of month. I would love to share with ya!

Like you said, my investor was concerned about losing the wider audience by losing the plane and adding a jumper. While our main theme is skydiving we will have some beers that pay tribute to rock climbing as well.

The team is working on a couple of different color schemes right now. once the design is nailed down then we will start talking about color. Thanks again everyone for the input! I can't wait for you all to try some of our tasty brew!

You're right. It could totally be a Beech. What do you think about the plane being replaced with a jumper, either in free fall or under canopy?

Thanks everyone for the input. I just got an email from one of ya discussing the colors. These are just the designs, no color yet. That will be decided later.

Everyday we are getting closer to launching Blue Skies Brewing in Longmont, Colorado! We will hopefully sign the lease on our building in the next 2 weeks so construction can begin and we can apply for our permits.

I attached some branding ideas from our marketing company and I wanted to see what you guys and gals thought. I really like the last one but would like to see a jumper under canopy rather than the DC3 silhouette. What do you think about that?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Blues Skies,

Mars

Thanks for the heads up there. I will run this past my lawyer. We have a couple of names registered in Colorado and with the IRS. Its good to know about them now.

Your beer would be BillVance's Sick and Twisted Sour! In honor of the longest living thread!

So many good names! Thanks everyone! Now I just need to make sure I brew beer worthy of all these names.

That would be awesome! I can see the artwork now!

Good call, Skymama! We'll be serving craft sodas as well so we do expect families during the day.

Mmmmmm....Skymama IPA. I like the sound of that!

Love it!!!! Especially - The Long Spot!!!!
totally agree about crew. That stuff freaks me out! The Dark Side, very nice.

Our label designer is going to have some fun with these.

I can make that happen!

Right now I've got bombers of the brown and chocolate stout. I'm about to bottle the scotch ale and the Bavarian Wheat Porter. I'll have the blonde and IPA ready in about 2 weeks. Let me know what you want to sample and I will get it to ya.

I'm launching a new brewery here in Colorado this summer called, Blue Skies Brewing Company. We'll be in Longmont, CO about a mile from the DZ and we hope to open the doors by June. I need some help with the names.

I've been calling our basic IPA the Free Fly IPA but a friend suggested Horny Gorilla IPA. My wife was concerned that many folks won't get it. The artwork of course would explain what a horny gorilla is. Our beers will mostly be skydiving themed but we also want to have some beers that are named after rock climbing, river sports and mountain biking. What do you guys and gals think?

Names so far:

Wild River Blonde Ale
Belly Down Brown or Head Down Brown
Swoop the Pond Saison - Made with yeast collected at the DZ
Free Fly IPA/Horny Gorilla IPA
Chocolate Stout - No name so far
Double IPA - No name so far
Bavarian Wheat Porter - No Name
Porter - No name

Thanks gang!
