Business of Craft Brewing

Hey, all! Starting in 2014, I've beein doing a lot of research into what it would take to open and run a small brewery. I learned a lot about pricing and manufacture, licensing, distribution, and managing inventory. But the one lesson I learned most is that there's still a lot I need to learn about this kind of business. Lucky for me, there's a class for that — or, rather, a series of classes.

This campaign is to help me raise the funds to complete my Business of Craft Brewing certificate at PSU. Portland being the craft-beer-thirsty town that it is, this is a very popular program, and classes fill up quickly. I've enrolled in the first class beginning in January 2017, and am saving up for the remaining three, but I'm worried they'll fill up before I get a chance to register. With your help, I'll be able to sign up for the next classes sooner, locking in my enrollment, and allowing me to finish the certificate within a year - possibly even by this summer!

The sooner I can complete this program, the sooner I'll have the tools I need to open my brewery and begin selling all of my most epic beers! So please, help me lock in these classes!
