Overview
If you've been hanging out at any of the inner west's microbreweries of late, you're probably familiar with Busboy. It's a pedal-powered food cart that delivers tasty, affordable eats to events, parties and pop-ups. Now, owner Ben Ogden wants to apply the same strategy to craft beer. And he's asking for your support through a Pozible crowdfunding campaign.
"We've developed strong relationships with local brewers," Ben says. "It's such a great community ... I'd love to be able to make the craft beer experience more mobile."
To make his dream happen, Ben needs to build a brand new cart. He'll be naming it Brewboy, then fitting it with a fancy dispensing system that can offer two beers and/or ciders at once. The next step will be to fill it with various brews — including Young Henrys, Wayward and Batch — before cycling to various festivals, parties and backyards. One of his longer term aspirations is to take Sydney's craft beers to far-flung country pubs, where mainstream brands still tend to dominate the taps.
Cash raised on Pozible will go to the building process, as well as to liquor licensing, branding, artwork and promo. Pledgers are in for some pretty fun rewards, from Brewboy t-shirts and launch party VIP invitations to beer-and-bikes tours and epic burger cook-ups.
As long all goes to plan, Brewboy will be rolling by November, just in time to bring more craft beer to your summer — wherever you are.
