Just for Fun

A few days later, Mason looked up when his father walked into his office. “Hey, Dad.”

“Mason. I’m not bothering you, am I?

“Not at all. I could use a break.” He pushed back from his desk where he’d been tracking the usage of ingredients in his brews. Everything was documented, specific amounts, timelines, temperatures, results of testing at every stage. It wasn’t just mixing water and hops with a few other ingredients, then letting it sit. Not like so many people thought. There was a science behind it all, and that was where he excelled.

“Take a walk with me,” his father said.

“Sure. I could stretch my legs.” He liked that he could see all the action going on below him through the glass windows in his office, but he missed being on the floor too. “Anything specific you wanted to see?”

“Not really. I just like to come by and check out what this business has become. It still amazes me the bar I bought all those years ago turned into this.”

He knew some of his parents’ history. That his father bought and renovated a rundown bar on his own, hoping to make it a neighborhood pub with some food. A light menu really. His mother started working there as a waitress and one thing led to another. He never asked specifics and was sure his siblings didn’t either. Sometimes his mother shared too much.

The one thing he remembered was listening to his parents talk about how they’d love to expand the business. First a bigger restaurant when he was younger. Aiden had been a wiz in the kitchen since he was a child, so it was pretty much assumed that he’d be running it, if it ever happened.

Then little by little this business plan evolved between his siblings and him. Well, between Ella and Cade actually. That’s where it started.

His father had been trying to make his own beer. Just for fun, he’d said. Just a hobby to have. But he was failing miserably. That was when Mason stepped in and together they created the first batch of what would later become their first beer. Fierce Five. Mason had worked on that brew longer than any other because he knew it was going to be the base for their brewery, brewed year round and hopefully distributed all over the US at some point.

With Aiden talking about a restaurant expansion, and Brody wanting the bar, he started to eye a brewery. Cade and Ella felt left out, so they sat down and started planning around everyone else. Next thing they all knew, Ella had charts and graphs and timelines because that was what Ella did best.

Cade had still been left out in the cold, it seemed. He didn’t like to cook, didn’t have the patience for brewing and wanted to do more than stand behind a bar. Marketing just seemed to be his thing since he never shut up and enjoyed trying to smooth talk people, and everyone was glad for that since no one wanted to deal with that end of the business.
