In the closing days of this round, I first want to say thank you. If you’re reading this, you’ve either already invested or you’re considering it. We’ve come a long way since our first equity crowdfunding campaign in 2016 and despite strong headwinds and some industry turmoil, our future has never been brighter.Yesterday afternoon we were sketching out ideas for lighted signage on the new distillery, planning for the building of a 25’ bar in Bay 1, and thinking about how we might use one of the old, salvaged railroad tracks as a footrest. We’re also brainstorming menu ideas, including our very own bourbon barrel pickles. Not surprisingly we’ve also been filling out the stacks of paperwork we’ll need for all the necessary permitsIt’s not just a vision; it’s all becoming real. The Bedrock investment in the waterfront is taking hold, the Eagle Street bridge is coming down, and Stones Levee is being extended from the Flats, directly up to the Rocket Mortgage arena (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Progressive Field (Cleveland Guardians). It all makes Cleveland Whiskey much more accessible and it’s exciting to see the utilities going underground, the road repaved, and construction beginning on the new 6,200 seat amphitheater right next door.If you’re already an investor, this is all good. If you’re considering investment, there is still time (but only a few more days). Everything I’ve just said, plus our new whiskey concentrates being shipped to India and Africa, it’s all changing the game. As I just said, our future has never been brighter.I’m glad we’re in Cleveland, I’m glad we’re part of the city’s Renaissance, and I’m proud of not only what we’ve already accomplished but what we’ll do going forward.Join us, you’ll be in good company, with almost 2,000 community owners. Let your family and friends know, share the link, brag a little about being an “owner”. And don’t forget, buy a bottle or two of our whiskey next chance you get.Cheers, Tom Lix
