John Culp was a minority investor in Audacity Brew House in Denton, TX. Towards the end of Audacity’s lifespan he started a mobile caning company that he still runs today. Beer Dudes Mobile Canning.
Like many of us mis-guided souls, he had always dreamed of owning a brewery but UNLIKE us he knew he didn’t have the time to devote to it. So he settled for being a volunteer around the brewery, particularly on canning day. Eventually, Audacity needed money and he was given the opportunity to invest. The brewery needed a bunch of cash and targeted around 300,000 at a valuation of 7.5 million. Which is not only innaccurate, its really fucking way the hell off.
Only a week after he sunk his cash in, the brewery laid off the entire staff. Which basically meant that John had just bought himself a job at a 10BBL Brewery. Only one without a 401K, a fancy insurance package or even a damn paycheck.
