Summertime Changes

In August 2015, we took off Shroomin' Magnolia & replaced it with Pump Up the Jam (another Cheezer with goat cheese, but with Raspberry Jam) & also Spam Bam Thank You Ma'am, a Hawaiian themed sandwich with Spam, fresh pineapple & plenty of cheese.

We also bragged about how much we loved Johnny Cash (pictured) & that we didn't accept credit cards, but that month we also got with the times & started accepting card payments with this little do-hickey that Kate plugged into her phone.  

Technology is amazing, right?  Thank you, Square for allowing us to take payment on our phone virtually anywhere we setup.

Kate & I also added a few more tasting rooms to our schedule.  We expanded Mad Munch's range out to La Mesa & Miramar, both about 15 miles away from OB.  People just love craft beer & are happy to drink it in any setting that is close to their home.

We setup in the industrial district of La Mesa at Bolt Brewery a few times.  The best was when they had live music.  We'd make some money & listen to some pretty good music.  

Our first time at Bolt (pictured below), Stoney B. Blues commented on my White Sox hat & gave us a couple of his CDs.  Turns out he was from the south side of Chicago & loved to play the blues.

We setup there a few times over the next year or so, until the sales dropped off & the bands no longer played there.
