I really thought someone was going to jump out and yell “Surprise!”, but nope, they just make you sign some stuff and then take your money. Suckers.
So yeah, we have a brewery, minus the brewery. Step 19 of 136, by my count…
Good on ya!
Is it the same building you were showing me at NHC?
The brewery is in GR?
I think Keith is talking about seeing pictures while they both were at NHC.
Ah, now that makes sense
That is correct!
yep!
Oh yeah…I remember that one!
Signatures are worth money. It’s a limited amount but you can add them together. Buy something with a credit card? One signature. Buy a car? Many signatures. A house? LOTS and LOTS of signatures!
We drove through Leadville last year on the way (the scenic way) to my parents house in NM. When you’re open we’ll stop by!
Congrats, let the fun begin!
Also congratulation. Welcome to long hours and little pay. But at the end if the day you will be the most famous person it town.
Go to get them. And have fun doing it.
That has a lot of upside potential, as we used to say!
Way to go! Good luck getting it all together.
Damn the sky is big down there! Its hard to imagine an area without trees like that around here. They each have their own beauty. Best of luck!
At 10,000+ ft trees have a hard time growing. Note those snow covered mountains to the right of the building.
That shot can be a little misleading because you’re looking west and most of Leadville is on the east slope of the valley. There are actually a half-dozen blocks of development in that direction before the town peters out, and we’re pretty well hemmed in by pine and aspen. The tree line around here is at about 12,000’, whereas the brewery sits at a paltry 10,150’ (give or take, and you better believe I’m getting that surveyed).
And yes, it is a “fixer-upper”. :
It’s also the only building in town with >12 ft ceilings built after 1950, so we really lucked out with it coming on the market when it did.
The walkthrough with the architect is tomorrow, so we could conceivably be pouring concrete in early October. Things happen fast once you start pulling triggers!
Not my picture, but this is looking west across town:
It is been a while since I was there, 20 years? I do remember the air being thin.
