#Family Business Beer Company

So FBBC is downsizing their brewer... (the one they hired after the last one left who hasn't even been there for a year I don't believe):

costhebrewer: Final grain out. I was just getting the hang of this rig. What a bummer. Oh well… on to the next adventure. #whoneedsabrewhouse #whoneedsabrewer

And when someone commented asking "Wait … what? I have really loved your creations. What I miss?" He responded with:

costhebrewer: downsizing staff and stopping in house brewing. Not sure where things go from here for the business.

So now Family Business BEER Company is just... not making beer anymore. What kind of brewery doesn't make their own beer?

My bet is they will be out of business (sold or closed) before 2025. And they are going to make good use of the fine print on those memberships that said they can cancel them at any time. (A jerk AA decided to ask Cos on this post if they are still getting their members only party... read the room dude, your party does not trump someone losing their job during the holidays...)

Also, can we just talk about the fact that they are laying him off AT CHRISTMAS?!!? Seriously read through his responses to people on that post. He even says he'll be done in Jan and is sending out resumes but that its a bad time to have to be doing that.

Also an AA was being an idiot and saying how great it was and he had to be like "I don't know if you don't get what's happening or are just being mean because this isn't a good thing"

Link. Oh noe Danneel's brother doesn't have a job, again! Won't somebody think of the chronically unemployed himbros!

Eh, not surprising. Between my predictions of FBBC sinking in about 5 years (X) (X) (X) and 2023 being the year for contraction for the brewery industry and Jensen's own lack of business acumen, honestly is anyone surprised? Anyone?

With the downsizing, it sounds like the Ackles have moved to contract brewing, meaning they're using another established brewery to make FBBC beer. In this arrangement, the contract brewer can help the "guest company" with packaging and shipping. In other words, in true Ackle's fashion, he's going to let others do the mundane day to day work.

Once I saw the bottling and canning I knew the Ackles wanted to go big with FBBC and never intended to stay a small craft brewery. In order for your craft brewery to succeed you either a very small local, owner-operator with minimal distribution, or you go really big and spend a fortune on marketing in order to compete for shelf space in stores across the state or county.

Anyways, let's have a Throw Back Thursday to FBBC's first promo picture, which completely threw me and wondered what noob thought this was a good idea because Gino and Danneel looked like happily married husband and wife while Jensen looked like the loser relative who sleeps on their couch while waiting for his music to be discovered.

Jensen Ackles for FBBC Merch

[writteninthestarsinyoureyes]

I need a tag other than "happy birthday dean winchester" for the absolute INSANITY that is occurring with Jensen Ackles and his relationship with Dean Winchester.

I mean...

They really said "it's all about Dean!" 🤣

Looks like Jake is there at FBBC today for the crawfish boil. I hope he is having a great time there. Look at how happy Jensen is though. Glad they are enjoying themselves.

Supposedly, Jensen will be at the brewery this weekend (March 25, 2023) They're having a crawfish boil.

Petition to change the legislation so Texas breweries can ship beer to their customers

familybusinessbeerco: Its #happyhour at @district_kitchen and Cosmic Cowboy American IPA is tasting fantastic! Do yourself a favor and grab a pint here and enjoy the beautiful weather on the patio. Our Cosmic Cowboy American IPA pairs perfectly with District's Moroccan lamb kebabs or the street tacos! 🤤

Love this. It was nice to see him talking about FBBC again. I always wondered why they couldn't ship direct when a few other state's local breweries could or why they couldn't go through a massive distributor like Beer Drop (which helps push that customer demand even further) that would help get their product out there even more. So please follow the link above to the link he provided and sign your name if you can.

And interestingly enough (though this is from 2021) for some more reading on the subject: https://www.foodandwine.com/news/beer-direct-customer-shipping-state-laws-why-not

And contrary to the narrative that certain antis are now attempting to give this video, no, Jensen does not look sad or on the verge of crying. He is talking about a serious topic, something that obviously means a lot to him (though he manages to thread in a few jokes throughout). JHC they're so desperate to keep this narrative of misery that only they can pick up on going, whether it's because they fantasize they can "save" him or because they want to enjoy said misery. I hope the people that follow these anti blogs can use the rational part of their brains and think smarter than that. It's so obvious what they're doing.

To anyone going to the crawfish boil this weekend (do they really call them mudbugs? ew, couldn't be me), I hope you have a great time and that the weather is great!!! 😁
