Bison Brew

The Utah Renaissance Faire in Mona was a great success and great way to wrap up the root b**r season. Thank you to all those who have supported us through this challenging season with the supply chain problems we faced.

I especially want to thank our Bison Brew Road Crew. They all worked very hard to try to move the lines as fast as possible and provide you with great service and a hardy huzzah for the tips!

Your support continues to amaze me. We even had a family from Las Vegas come up to fill 5 growlers and several other bottles!

Have a safe and joyous fall and winter. I hope to see you next year.

BTW, I'm not sure if it's possible, but if you have pictures you care to share with us of your friends and family enjoying Bison Brew, I'd love to see them!

Getting the final work done to do the Utah Renaissance Faire this coming weekend at the Mt. Nebo Botanical Farm is beautiful Mona Utah. We are excited to come back to this event for the first time since they moved from Thanksgiving Point. The weather is promising to be great in the high 60s/low 70s. Best way to wrap up the Bison Brew season! Don't forget your bottles!

To all our loyal Bison Brew family, especially in Las Vegas: It was a hard decision not to do the Age of Chivalry this year. The reasons are many:
We have had significant supply chain issues. The company that was importing the growlers from Germany closed shop. I contacted the manufacturer and would have to purchase a whole shipping container. The costs would have exceeded $80k (payable up front) which I did not have available. The EZ Cap bottle company was sold and the new owners took a bit to get shipments reestablished causing delays in receiving the bottles. Plus, they wanted payment up front rather than 30 days net which is industry standard. The costs of transportation, housing, and feeding my crew of 12 to 14 also greatly increased. Finally, the ever increasing fees to be at the event got too excessive given all our other expenses.

We will be doing another smaller but great Renaissance Faire in Mona, Utah the weekend of October 16th-18th. We would love to see you all there.

Local artist submission. Thank you Chris Redford for your hard work on this. I really think Caberball could catch on.
