What do you think? We’ve done a little polishing to the Circle Brewing site and it’s logos/labels. Love it, hate it? Send us an email and let us know…brewer@circlebrewing.com

It’s on the way! Estimated arrival is the week of June 21st. The two 60 BBL Fermenters and 60 BBL Bright Tank along with our brewhouse are packed up and on a ship. Once the two 40 ft containers get to LA(est June 7th), they will be loaded onto rail and then finally on trucks to be delivered right to our door. We’re getting the space ready for the arrival, so the next few weeks will be busy ones. More pics are sure to follow with the buildout as well as plenty of the equipment when it gets here. Below are some final pics of the brewhouse and fermenters before they shipped. Ooooh, they look good.

Hey Circle Brewing Fans,

Circle Brewing has a home!  After months of debate and negotiations, we have finalized our lease on the brewery location.  You’ll be pleased to know that it is located up North, near the intersection of Braker Ln. and Kramer Ln.  The address of the new home of Circle Brewing Company is 2340 W Braker Ln, Suite B.  Check it out:

We’ve also taken a few pics of the inside of the place to give you an idea of what we’ll be working with.  It’s 8,100 sqft, so we’ll have plenty of room to work and expand.  The location is perfect for us, with easy access to both Mopac and I-35 for deliveries throughout Austin and an easy reach to Round Rock and beyond.

We hope you’re as excited about our progress as we are.  Jud and I can’t wait to get to work on building out the space.   Don’t worry, we will be taking plenty of pics of the buildout and documenting every step in the development, so stay tuned to the website and the blog for updates.

I hope you’re salivating.  As we get closer and closer to securing a location, our equipment is finishing up its fabrication in China.  Here are a few choice pictures of the brewhouse as it is being created from scratch.  Pretty cool stuff.  We can’t wait to put her to use.  We’ll keep you up to date on new developments as they happen.

We did it!  Thanks to everyone who helped spread the word about Circle Brewing Company over the last year.  While we are still raising capital and actively pursuing additional investors, we recently hit our primary financial goal!

During that time, we have been working on securing our brewhouse and accompanying equipment.  Since we hit our mark, we were able to put in our order for our brewhouse…here is a picture of what that bad boy is going to look like when it is fabricated.  Ooooooohhhhh, it’s so good lookin’.

She’s a 30 BBL system, fabbed by Frank Ma and our friends over at PBST.  We can’t wait to have her delivered and fire this sucker up and brew some tasty Circle Brews.  Now that the order is in, we are looking to receive it in approximately 4 months.  So, start your stopwatch.

It’s on, Circle Brew Fans.  More updates to come soon as we secure our location and begin building out the space.   To make sure you get updates, make sure you sign up for our Circle of Friends or check us out on the Facebook.com.

Hey everyone.  We wanted to let you know about a mention Circle Brewing has in the August 28th issue of the Austin Chronicle.  So go pick up a copy or seven.  You can also check out the article online here.  Read more beer related news and reviews from the Chronicle article’s author, Lee Nichols, on his blog, I Love Beer Blog.

The equity raising is speeding along, as we have only 15 shares left til we reach our initial goal!  We have quickly and to our great enjoyment mastered our Dry Irish Stout recipe.  Still fishing around for names for her, so if you have any thoughts on the matter, feel free to email us or post.

In other news, we have an upcoming article in the Austin American-Statesman, to be published on August 12.  So, make sure you go pick up a copy next Wednesday and head over to your local framing shop.  If you can’t wait for the print version, the author, Patrick Beach, has posted it on his blog as well.  Check it out here.

We’re getting close to pulling the trigger, so keep spreading the word and checking back for updated info on our progress.

We’ve been brewing like crazy lately, sharpening up one of the first planned seasonals, our Dry Irish Stout.  It is coming along faster than expected, and we should have a finished product soon, leaving us a new Circle Brew to focus on.  Here’s a pic of her, gorgeous, isn’t she?

Keep spreading the word!  The countdown is at 31 and dropping.  We’ll keep you updated on the progress, and you keep supporting Circle Brewing.

As of today, we are 37 shares away from breaking ground! While that is not the total number of shares remaining, it is the threshold needed to proceed. We are close and getting closer to bringing Circle Brewing Company to market. After we sell the 37 shares, we will immediately begin gathering the equipment and building out the brewery. So, get the word out! The sooner we lock down those shares, the sooner you can walk into your local watering hole and throw down an icy cold Circle Brew.

We’ve also been brewing like crazy and will begin working on some recipes for our first seasonal brews. If you have any thoughts or ideas on that, please let us know.

We’re hammering away, and just wanted to give you all a quick update on the progress. Spread the word!

Well, it has been a long time coming, but we have finally brewed a batch of Blonde that we are pleased to call Alibi! Looks like 18 was our number. We’ll continue to keep brewing and to improve on our recipes, but mmmm…we’re there. So now we’ve got all three of our staple recipes, Alibi Blonde Bock, Envy Amber, and Blur Hefe, and are beginning to stockpile samples for prospective investors. Soon, we will begin to work on some new recipes that will be our seasonals. If you have any thoughts or adamant requests, by all means, email us.

In other news, we’ve got a little blurb coming up in the April/May Edition of the Southwest Brewing News. We’re looking forward to our first little bit of press and would like to specifically thank Hans Granheim for his help.

We’ve finally bent to the pressures and created a Facebook Page. So, check us out and sign up to be a fan on the page. We’re pushing to get the word out in any way we can and to as many people as possible.

So, get out there, Circle Brewing fans, and help us help you get Circle Brewing Brews on the shelves and in the bars.
