As a Christian I believe that we have been created in the image of God so we've been
created to create it's kind of inherent in who we are as human beings and the amazing
thing about craft beer is that it is very creative creating something that people can
enjoy and experience we think it really connects on a very basic level with what it means to
be human we're reclaiming the beer culture we're reclaiming it from the bland tasteless
loggers that the big guys will tell you that you like and we're putting it more on a small
scale and we're really bringing a lot of flavors to beer that people aren't used to it's really
important to me to see beer become what I think it should be a good beverage that also
can be a conversation point and something to be appreciated we think that beer has been
for a large part hijacked so we want to change the reputation of the beer as far as quality
taste and a great thing is there's a great revolution in beer making and beer brewing
going on in the craft brew world to me it's like an art if a beer tastes good I want to
know more about the creator I want to know more about the ingredients I want to know
more about the story behind that beer it's not merely the mixing of ingredients there's
a lot of skill there's science involved there's art involved there's thought and intellect
and imagination that's involved like an artist has the canvas and paints and brushes I have
water and barley and kettles for us the experience of seeing people enjoy our beer and talking
about it and connecting and making new friends and celebrating old friends it's all of that
makes me passionate we not only would contribute to bringing about beer itself and making it
better and making a better name for beer but we also want to help reclaim other things
we want to help reclaim this building we're in for instance we want to help the community
grow by contributing economically and with our time as well one of the things things
that we've come to find of Western Pennsylvania is that the people here are our rabidly loyal
we see it as an opportunity to be involved in a community that needs something like Reclamation
Brewing and we really appreciate that kind of community mindedness of that team spirit
if you will of the loyalty the money from this campaign will help us round out the funding
that we need we've had some changes in our business model in our business plan to include
some things that were going to be phased in later at an earlier point we still need to
pick up fermenters we need some additional equipment for our bar area so this money would
go toward making the whole build-out possible so that rather having to open in phases we
can open the business as a brewpub from the get-go we love brewing we love the craft we
love the art of business and we love people I enjoy crafting beer I enjoy getting to meet
people and talk with people about beer and over beer you know our heart and soul is really
in this in the sense that we feel like it's in a sense a calling to make good beer to
provide it to a wider audience to connect with people who enjoy our beers we wouldn't
want to do it if we didn't love it and we want to continue to make that part of our
lives we've faced some obstacles we expect more obstacles but we're pushing through those
and really seeking to reach that end goal of opening a place where people can come and
enjoy a good quality product in the company of good friends will you join us
