Support Local Brewers--Watch the Video, Click LIKE

I got the below email via DC-Beer. I am republishing it here to encourage people to support a great, beer-related business idea. Catherine Portner is a great-granddaughter of brewer Robert Portner. She and her siblings have the idea of creating a brewery incubator--a place for home brewers to test their favorite recipes alongside Portner family faves. They plan a brewhouse and beer garden in the Alexandria area. They are competing nationally for a $100,000 prize and I hope they win!  


FROM CATHERINE PORTNER:

Dear Friends, Family and Well-Wishers, 

I hope this e-mail finds you well! 

My siblings and I have been chosen as a Top 20 Finalist in the Last Plan Standing 100K Competition, a nationwide competition that will award a marketing communications plan worth up to $100,000 to an original, relevant and ingenious business idea. 

Please help us advance to the next round by selecting the "LIKE" button when you follow the link below before March 20th 


If you would not mind also sharing with folks in your network, we would appreciate your support!

  3. Catherine,

    I am thrilled that your proposal won the Last Plan Standing competition! I look forward to meeting you and enjoying a beer in your establishment as we toast your well-deserved victory. Hurry! The beer scene here is growing rapidly. (See "Burgeoning Brewing Scene in Our Nation's Capitol," February 2011.)
