EVBC-fever...you're part of it!

Greetings, East Village Brewing Company faithful! I'm happy to provide a status report on how things are looking here at EVBC Headquarters...EVBCHQ for short.

1. EVBC-fever - Sure, it's only been a week and change since EVBC shook off its pucky afterbirth and stretched it its new legs, eager to both explore the world around it and to understand what the fuck just happened (like waking up drunk on a strange couch with a Min-Pin aggressively chewing on your shoes nearby), but by golly we have hit the ground running! The home brewing kit has been ordered and we expect delivery within the week. What's more, Brewmaster Eric has already started shopping for totally sweet "EVBC Brewmaster" visors for himself and Brewmaster Marshall. The good news? They're wicked cheap! The bad news? Brewmaster Eric's skills with photoshop are lacking (read: nonexistent. see above for example) so our prototype visors will be pretty straightforward.

2. You're part of it! - "Brewmaster Eric," you quizzically interject, "how does designing one stupid visor for you and B.M. mean EVBC-fever has taken the world by storm?" GLAD you asked! Here at the EVBC, we think that to truly "catch the spirit" you should be a part of the team! That's why EVBCHQ rubber-stamped us deputizing each and every EVBC follower an official EVBC TASTEMASTER!

Of course, normally each Tastemaster appointment starts off in a three month 'provisional status' period during which we evaluate your dedication to the team and overall commitment to the cause, but because Brewmaster Marshall and I are high on EVBC-fever (and possibly glue fumes, completely unrelated to the brewing process I promise you), we're allowing for a waiver of provisional status for the first 20 brew-thusiasts who sign up to follow our blog! That's right, official TASTEMASTER status without the wait!

Aside from world peace, a sail boat filled with jelly beans, and possibly a sass-mouth talking pot-belly pig that serves up attitude while reminding us all that we're beautiful on the inside, this is every single man and woman's dream come true. Congratulations to our first group of Tastemasters! Should the mood strike you, please feel free to comment on the post with your new official Tastemaster handles (I'm looking at you, Tastemaster Purvi...I know you're brimming with excitement).

3. What's on deck - B.M. and I have plans to have a board meeting this evening at a local brew-pub to brainstorm some ideas for what's next. EVBC merch? New lines of delicious home brew beers? A drunken hug at the end of the night that results in one or more of your favorite Brewmasters thinking "this feels right" but then drowning his confusion in late night pizza eating? THE SKY'S THE LIMIT!

Until next time, true believers - toss out your chicken soup, forsake your Z-packs, and fuck getting extra rest...the only cure for EVBC-fever is being part of the pandemonium!
