Salty Sway Brew Haus

I would like to start off by introducing myself, my name is Mark Ingerman and I have moved to the stateline area about a year ago from near the Pittsburgh area (For reasons I can explain to you when we meet). I have been brewing for about 5 years now. And like most Home-brewers, I started off as an extract brewer and worked my way up to mini-mash brewing. With the help of some great homebrew friends I have graduated to being an all grain brewer.
I have won not only some local competitions in the Pittsburgh area with an Irish Red that I have named “Crimson Mcflair”, and a smooth Hefe Weiss named “Anywhere But Here”, but have also won some state-wide competitions (ALL IN PA) with an Oatmeal Stout that my business partner named “Crusty Sailor”. All of which were favorites in our homebrew community.
With all that said, my business partner and I, with the urgings of our friends & family, have just opened not only an on-line store but “Our Dream Come True” brick & motor home-based Homebrew shop! Which will be open temporarily by appointment only. Yes, we have made the leap of turning our passion of Home brewing into our DREAM, helping others to be successful in home brewing and supplying them with the tools to do so. We are located right here in South Beloit, You can also find us online at www.saltyswaybrewhaus.com.
It is with this great excitement that we would love to be able to not only be a member of Stateline Brewing Society but also to be apart of your “Brew Fest 2010″. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you sometime before your April 14th Meeting, (Which I would love to attend) so that we can introduce ourselves over a home-brew and so I can answer any questions that you might have for me and I can explain what we as a home brew shop can offer you and your club members. Just to let you know, on Thursday April 8th I did try contacting you through your “Contact Us” link on your Stateline Brewing Society web-site and since
I hadn’t received a response I didn’t know if it had went through or not so this is why I’m re-sending you this e-mail straight to your e-mail address I found on one of your other sites.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future. I can be reached at the following contacts below.
Sincerely:
Mark A. Ingerman
