[Liquidpoets] Potts News

[Joe Bowden]

Hey All,

*Heard the News...*
As many of you already know or have read (The Coloradoan) - we will
wrapping up brewing operations in Fort Collins over the next month or so.
Our Campus West property was sold to a development group back in September
of 2016.  Though C.B. & Potts was involved in ownership of the property it
was not directly part of our Restaurant and Brewery biz and other vested
interests were involved with the sale.  That being said we began to look
for a new brewery home in Fort Collins last Fall.  Unfortunately, the
current real estate market in FoCo has proven limited and challenging.
Over the last 6 months, we have looked at several potential locations, but
have not been able to find what we are looking for.

*What's next for Potts?*
We are still looking for opportunities in Fort Collins to place a brewery.
Until then, we still need to meet our production demands.  Our FoCo brewery
was mainly focused on supplying Fort Collins but 25-30% of the production
was going to our 7 other Colorado locations.  Therefore, we will be
expanding capacity at one of our current Denver breweries.  The FoCo
brewhouse will be put in storage in Fort Collins while all the fermenters,
brites, pumps, hoses, keg wahser, bottling line, and cooperage will be
utilized in the expansion project.

I have been asked and accepted the opportunity to work on this expansion
project and ultimately the Brewery Leader/Production Manger for the new
facility.

Though I will be spending a lot of my time in Denver, I will still be
involved at our 2 pub locations in Fort Collins.  I will continue to live
in Fort Collins and will always feel connected to the brewing scene here.
I look forward to drinking many more homebrews with all the Poets.

We are closing the doors to the Taproom on Friday night.  I'd love to share
some beers with you all, if your free.  Party starts at 5 PM.  Music starts
at 7 PM.

Cheers,

Joe
