Absorbine_Sr Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Congratulations Doug. It's a bold move and I'm betting you'll do well. And when BrewDuggeh is up and running I'll be proud to tell my friends, over a friendly pint or six, that I know the bloke who made it.

Aimless1 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Great news Doug! Follow your passion and live the dream. Fresh out of school I made the mistake of listening to my father and chasing money. I was well on my way up the corporate ladder, and was successful if success is measured by money. But I was not happy nor pleased with my life. When I decided to stay home and care for my daughters I had plenty of time to re-evaluate what I wanted out of life and how to accomplish that. The 8 years I stayed home are the best years of my life. Now I have a career doing what I like. Wishing you success no matter the path you choose.

agile_one Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Another hearty, "Well done, Doug" from here. I am glad you are following your heart and passion, and if you are true to them, all will work out. Let us know how the journey is going, and if we can help in any way. Looking forward to BrewDoug nectars to come ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've replied to Doug in a PM. But a good friend Paddy Glenny started up a brewery locally in Witney Oxfordshire, initially called The Glenny Brewery. He sold out to Wychwoods (his most famous brew, Hobgoblin is still brewed), maybe 20 years ago and went off to Nelson in BC Canada - setting up another brewery called the Nelson Brewery in 1991. Their most famous beer is Paddywhack. Last time I saw Paddy, he was doubling up as a Park Ranger paint ball coding Grizzlies. I kid you not. This is done (apparently) to keep track of the population. It is not a low-risk activity. Last time I heard from him, he had been attacked by a juvenile black bear and walked 20 miles out leaving a trail of blood. He survived to tell the tale. He didn't survive the next encounter, and became a Grizzly statistic. So Doug - go into brewing - it is a fine profession - but don't go in for colour coding Grizzlies.

morphsci Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Excellent decision Doug, my advice to people is they should only pursue an advanced degree if it is what they want and love to do. I look forward to the first tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 As a neurophysiology PhD student in a previous lifetime, I congratulate and support you in your decision to quit grad school and pursue something that truly interests you. It's a wise decision. Good luck in becoming a brewer and please save a bottle from the first batch for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay Ken. I decided to give mine to the hubby (hoping this will allow me to use my open headphones more often) and Doug at Westone was fine with that. I haven't been able to get the hubby to the audiologist yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
