Brewings Vol 38 Issue 4 | Page 5

Time for a Brewings TV update. I had people come up to me at Guzzle and ask where has Brewings TV been lately and also to tell me how much they enjoyed the videos. I certainly appreciate the compliments and I am working on getting production on this started up again. Late last winter into Spring and early Summer I was working on finishing the remainder of my basement including a new space to display beer signs, a bathroom and the studio area where I shoot Brewings TV. This is not completely finished but it is done to the point where I can set the studio up and start recording soon. Also I found a new piece of equipment that I am going to get. It’s a teleprompter. This is what they use on the news on Television so the person on camera can look at the camera and still read their lines. This one is very cool and very affordable too. I can’t wait to get it. One of the most difficult things about doing this show is trying to memorize and speak all the lines on camera. This way I can script the show and simply read it like they do on TV. In other news we have an exciting new show coming on Nov 5th at Mankato Brewing in North Mankato. This show is free for the vendors and the public. The taproom will be open during the show and there’s plenty of floor space available. They have about five tables so you will probably want to bring your own table for displaying your merchandise. There’s a nice hotel about 4 blocks from the brewery right off Highway 169 if you want to stay Friday and/or Saturday night. I know Jay and Teri Martin are staying Friday night. Maybe this will turn into a night of room to room trading as this show progresses. We have taked about the possibility of getting a bus tour to Schell’s on Friday afternoon in the future once this gets going. This could include stops in Nicollet and Courtland. Lots of possibilities for this show going forward. Plus Mankato has some really nice bars and pubs to explore as well. So let’s have a great turn out and make this a great event! Prosit!
