Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Community Managed Brewing at BeerBankRoll.com

— June 3, 2008 — Lifestyle
I always thought it would be neat to open a very small, friend and family-ran microbrewery. Interested parties would through in a little money, decide on the beer to make, and receive a few cases every month. A UK-based company is trying this very approach. Beerbankroll is a community managed brewing company that is trying to get a minimum of 50,000 members to pitch in $50. Everything from the name to the logo will be voted on by the group.
