Kickstarter beer project update No. 2
Earlier this week I wrote about a Kickstarter project by Roughtail Brewing to fund a new canning line. It looks like Roughtail is not the only new/newish brewer to get in on the act.
Black Mesa Brewing has also started a Kickstarter drive. Black Mesa’s goal is to raise $17,990 in order “to secure the time and space needed to brew at OKCity Brewing Co. (a brewing cooperative) for 8 months.”
With 16 days to go, they have 35 backers pledging $3,945.
If you’re not familiar with Kickstarter, it’s a fundraising tool that offers swag in exchange for your pledge. If the project doesn’t receive enough pledges to meet its goal, no money is taken.
Black Mesa is hoping to ride the wave produced by the release of its newest beer — ESB, or Endless Skyway Bitter — to reach its goal.

Thoughts? I think it’s safe to Prairie Artisan Ales is going bonkers with the new brews … You’ll notice Choc’s Belgian OPA is one of the seasonal OPA’s they’ve promised … Brew Dog was confirmed last year for Oklahoma — I’m sure that will be highly sought after … I’ll bet the Mustang IPA will be part of the Saddlebag Series … keep your eyes open for the Boulevard Grainstorm — I hear this will be awesome … am I the only one who can’t keep track of all the beer Sam Adams has now?
-Heard a report on the Sports Animal this morning that was promoted as “American beers that may be pulled off the shelves.” I know you’ll be devastated to know the complete line of Milwaukee’s Best may not survive.
