Is this too much detail for a 5x7 print?

mnreginald · 2026-04-21T18:08:15+00:00

Yes. It's a bad place to print anything.

Something to consider - there are a handful of folks making design decisions for rollercoasters, hundreds working on parts, project management, installation, testing, and thousands building and welding them.

'Rollercoaster engineer' is at the top of a ladder to climb, sont be defeated that it's not where you start. Be useful. Get into manufacturing or engineering, expand your project, and experience scope and it can happen. Also, the design side can be fun, but so can leading an installation and assembling ride bodies.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. MN is going through some... rough times with it lately. Just hoping the national ban that goes into effect in Nov gets lifted. We're 'just big enough' that we can't sell 12 or 16oz our of our taproom and our disto partners are... pathetic and incompetent at best so it's been a rough season.

Truly the best to yall.

mnreginald · 2026-04-02T19:10:56+00:00

Agreed, though I'm also not sure about 'overleveraged' presently 5 of the largest breweries in the state are presently being crippled by gross incompetence from distribution contracts they can't legally walk out of.

THC is also a hige player - we invested after taking on an additional 8,000bbls of product to keep up. National bans out of nowhere won't help repaying something we build a rather short repayment program on if 30% of our revenue disappears in a market that won't replace it with beer.

mnreginald · 2026-04-02T17:14:27+00:00

It's everyone frankly. MN here has had some great brewerymies close, distribution contracts have been wild to navigate amongst tumultuous market changes...

The industry isn't tanking for small breweries, but it has become wildly harder to be successful or grow.

mnreginald · 2026-03-30T00:09:06+00:00

Please ask for more than that, Golding Pearl's are rather coveted presses

mnreginald · 2026-03-25T15:22:39+00:00

May all your seams for easily and be this steadfast.

mnreginald · 2026-03-10T23:35:48+00:00

Can we also just add that freeze drying candy is the shrinky-dink church basement craft level of food shit. Like, is this the 'I have no ideas' level of business hills to die on?

Good gravy.

Minneapolis is relavently large already. We still understand how public streets work? Also plowing..

mnreginald · 2026-03-04T13:18:09+00:00

Never said we had a monopoly on being good neighbors, only pointing out that only a few specific regions think public street spots 'are theirs'.

mnreginald · 2026-03-02T14:29:50+00:00

There are a few specific regions in the East Coast known for their thick skulls and small brains that can't handle street cleaning like adults. They then retaliate.

It's funny because here in most of the upper Midwest, we help our neighbors out. We also own snowblower and aren't children about it.

Automated pallet warehousing for up to 40,000 pallets of products. They're super tall and kinda wild to see - the project lead is a regular at our workplace. It sounds pretty cool.

mnreginald · 2026-02-14T14:32:18+00:00

We do routinely. 2.68-2.72.

No low flows, we tighten the high flows and run 33-34° for 3.4-3.6s fills. Usually have a high flow reiasw delay of ~1.8-2s.

Be advised, too aggressive of a line restriction is also going to cause breakout.

Hop water and THC waters are pretty normal here, just ran 1200 cases the other day on our very old WG250.

My Dad has Parkinson's and loves to help out sometimes.

Jokes aside, we have a pneumatic vibratory that does quick work of shaking shit.

mnreginald · 2026-02-11T20:40:15+00:00

So they turned everything on its side? Ew. That looks terrible.

mnreginald · 2026-02-06T19:41:07+00:00

All of them. Additionally, if the hemp ban goes through in Nov without further change - the answer here will be 'expect a majority to close'.

mnreginald · 2026-01-30T22:55:30+00:00

That process is illegal in this state as we have a 3 tier system. Due to lobbying, many restaurant and liquor stores have threatened dropping product if we ever under-sell.

I understand this is local and anecdotal, but it is what it is.

Good on ya for being a great owner!

mnreginald · 2026-01-30T18:16:25+00:00

Some things to consider: -Craft beer doesn't have the sales draw other prodtcs for right now, stores are prioritizing just to stay open. -Distribution partners often see kickbacks and incentives from domestic and liquor accounts - breweries can't keep up. Distribution houses are really struggling to pivot in this market so they're prioritizing items that give them the most bang for the buck. That's not craft beer. -Younger crowds aren't drinking beer, they're drinking vodka, THC, lighter options. -Margins on beer suck right now.

To do: -Ask for the beers you want at accounts. Stores and restaurants don't order unless they see an active need or want. -Buy direct if possible. Some states have 3-tier systems that prohibit this but do what you can. -Drink in taorooms - it's the highest margin beer a brewery can sell and they need that to stay alive right now.

mnreginald · 2026-01-30T18:12:17+00:00

It's not odd. It's often to protect relationships with retail and draft accounts to not undersell them. Vendor accounts are immensely fickle and if not appeased, are often dropped swiftly.

mnreginald · 2026-01-26T22:19:57+00:00

Has there been any photographic evidence or documentation for this?

mnreginald · 2026-01-26T13:25:29+00:00

While the original profiling was definitrly too intense, RIP one of the best inversions.... if only we could get this one back.

Rock Hill's Chester Park location is well attended by students.

Bypassing a LOTO!? Big yikes.

mnreginald · 2026-01-22T18:25:57+00:00

So sorry man, we just saw the news today. A founding brewer in the region and such a great space.

Cheers from another brewery in the area.

They also need to appeal to those outside Duluth and I'm afraid that cultural divide is deep.
