Would You Pay $1,000 Once to Get Free Beer for Life? |

User ID: 58370062 Australia 05/29/2014 11:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Would You Pay $1,000 Once to Get Free Beer for Life? [snip] A brewpub and a coffee shop in Minnesota's Twin Cities have used this one-time payment method to save their businesses. And there's no reason to think the model can't spread. In reality, the cost for that much beer is a lot more. But for a few dozen people, free beer for life is their reward for investing in a small restaurant called Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub in a quiet southern corner of Minneapolis. Amy Johnson and her two business partners needed to raise $220,000 to secure a bank loan and fulfill their dream of opening a restaurant that served beer brewed right there at the pub. They went to investors who offered to give heavily for a voting share in the restaurant. But since the potential investors had no experience in the restaurant industry, the owners backed away. And then came the idea from some friends and family who wanted to help out. "They were, like, 'I've got a few grand, but I don't have too much money,' " Johnson recalls. "And people kept saying this over and over, and we latched onto the idea. Why not just take a couple grand from everybody and then we'd have all the money we'd need?" [end snip] Full story with another model for money as well with a Coffee shop ;) [ link to www.nationaljournal.com] It's life as we know it, but only just.

If they opened up in Canada, they would be bankrupted in 3 days, haha |

Quoting: Citizenperth no i dind't. if it was "we will give you free beer for the rest of your life, no strings attached", THAT would be free beer. "pay $1000 to get beer for the rest of your life" is NOT free beer! it's $1000 beer! |

It's a great idea. Instead of selling stock, they get beer! I don't know the production numbers, but I would think if it was less than 20% of production it would not be a problem. deplorably republican |

Older people with a grand just setting around usually can't or won't consistently drink enough to cut too deeply into the profits; and young people, who can tip 'em back, just don't have the thousand dollars to toss around like that I wouldn't think.
