Anyone who has been on MBW knows that I have not posted any new content since early in 2016. That is because work commitments have not allowed me to devote the time I want and need to produce a quality product who those of you who have followed this blog for the last few years.
At one time, I had the hope and ambition to make this my full-time passion and job. But in the end, economics (a/k/a the need for a paycheck!) and my inability to successfully monetize the site has brought me to this place today.
This will be, unless there is a major change in my life, my final post on MBW. Thank you to all who have followed my site. I have had a blast and have met some great people, both craft beer and wine makers, as well as those of us who love what they do. The Midwest Craft Beer and Wine industries are strong, vibrant industries, which create jobs and produce amazing, quality products. No matter what the big titans of the industries say…this movement IS HERE TO STAY!
I will continue to post industry news and my personal experiences on my Midwest Beer and Wine Facebook and Twitter platforms. And of course, I will continue to support and enjoy the work of the great craftsmen (and women) who make these industries great!
So, maybe I will see you around at a brewery or winery some day and we can hold up a glass to Midwest Beer and Wine! Until then, Cheers!
