Longtab Brewing

Saturday, June 18th, 2016

Longtab Brewing was founded by some SF dudes who love beer. SF guys loving beer? Imagine that. But I digress.

They originally wanted to call the company Meerket brewing due to the mascot of their ODA (2023, seen in silhouette below during operations in Afghanistan in 2002) but the name was taken by a wine company. So, they chose another name with a nod to their DNA. It’s a good fit. Their planned beverages also have appropriate names.

It’s been a long week. I could use a beer. Unfortunately, it won’t be a Longtab until 2017. Until then, keep up with their progress at www.longtabbrewing.com.

Chris Osman Designs

Tuesday, March 29th, 2016

I’ve known former-SEAL Chris Osman for a long time, since before the war started. Not only did he found and then sell Tactical Assault Gear, only to come back and run it later for LC Industries, but he’s also an avid motorcycle rider. Now, he’s combined his knowledge of producing tactical gear with his passion for riding. The result is Chris Osman Designs. It’s definitely worth checking out if you ride a scooter.
