An Interview - Fred AKA @blindbrewguy

An Interview – Fred, aka @blindbrewguy   We have a real treat for you guys today! Our last interview with Tim from The Fundy Brewers Facebook Page was so well received we want to keep doing that style of blog post. Derek & I feel it’s a great way to meet new people from our local community – and beyond. Today we talking with Fred, a.k.a. @blindbrewguy from Instagram.

Introductions Are In Order

Introductions Are In Order

Introductions Are In Order When I was putting together the website for the store I wanted to make sure that we had a detailed “About US” page to make sure people knew who they were buying from. I for one don’t like that feeling of buying from a faceless business – as much as it is sometimes a necessity in our current times. The about us page that I finally settled on for the store comes across a bit too business like in my opinion.

Getting Started in Home Brewing

When I started home brewing years ago (2002), there was very little interest in the hobby, products were very limited and there were not many resources to figure out how to do things properly, other than the sheet of paper that came in the kits you could buy from the grocery store.

Community Growth

As Christian and I get a feel for the size of the local market, I just wanted to put a quick post out to inform everyone of our strategy for growing the business, eventually to include a wider array of products. For the time being we are mainly stocking grain, adjuncts and small amounts of yeast to see how things go and to help get people brewing. We are starting with a basic product lineup and will be expanding offerings as we go. In other words, we may not have the exact thing you are looking for, but please bare...
