BLOOMERY MAKES HISTORY!

And we want YOU to join us!  

www.startengine.com/startup/bloomery

You can own a part of the Distillery and help SweetShine go national! We can now do this with your help, through grassroots Regulation Crowdfunding! We were first in the nation (by 4 minutes!) to file through the SEC at 6:35 am!

After four long years of waiting for Title III of the JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act to come to fruition, today, May 16, 2016, is the date that this unprecedented opportunity for American small businesses to raise growth capital by using grassroots efforts finally comes into effect.

Bloomery has been preparing for quite some time to be ready to launch an offering on this historic day as one of the inaugural companies in the country. Now you can be part of this historic event too-by becoming an investor in the Distillery.

Today, Bloomery is only one of a handful of small American companies taking crowdfunding to a whole new level as a result of Title III of the JOBS Act. Title III essentially allows crowdfunding participants – investors – the ability to purchase actual ownership in a company rather than simply donating money to a company via a rewards-based program like Kickstarter. With Title III of the JOBS Act comes the latest in equity crowdfunding laws permitting non-accredited individuals to invest in small businesses like ours. Investing was previously restricted to wealthier accredited investors and institutions only. Now friends, family and fans here, there, and everywhere can actually invest in the Distillery’s future and the growth of the company.

Our dream is to be able to take SweetShine from a tiny log cabin in the woods where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the Shenandoah River in West Virginia and bring it to every state in America. But we need YOU to help us on this journey. We ask for your support and grassroots effort, once again, to take Bloomery SweetShine to the next level. Help us to #ConnectYourSpirit to ours. As friends, family and fans, you’ve already been such a huge part of our success…why not jump into the journey with us?

For more information about our company, our offering, and to make an investment, please visit www.startengine.com/startup/bloomery.

Cheers!
Linda, Tom, Rob and the whole cast of characters who make up this crazy, fun-filled Distillery

PS  The success of this grassroots crowdfunding depends on you. Aside from being an investor yourself the best way to help us reach our goal is for you to share the excitement with your circle regardless of where in the United States they live.

Start by slicing the pomegranate in half, vertically.

jesse-11-300x200-1 jesse-14-300x200-1 jesse-13-300x200-1

To build the cocktail you’ll need:

Pink 75

Greetings SweetShine Fans! Today’s cocktail is inspired by the classic French 75.

You’ll need:

1 oz Raspberry Lemon SweetShine

1 oz gin

1 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice

1 oz sparkling pink moscato

img_5637-1-200x300-1

Before you begin crafting your cocktail, skewer and freeze some fresh raspberries like so.

img_5678-2-1-200x300-1

Start with ice in a shaker or mason jar with lid, and add 1 oz gin.

img_5685-2-3-200x300-1

Add 1 oz Raspberry Lemon SweetShine.

img_5751-2-6-200x300-1

Isn’t that gorgeous?

img_5742-2-5-200x300-1

Now get your raspberries out of the freezer and plop a few right into your glass. The frozen berries will keep your drink nice and cold while slowly infusing a little extra flavor.

img_5782-2-7-200x300-1

There you have it. Bloomery’s Pink 75.

Cheers, y’all!

Caramel Walnut Apple Sangria

Everyone loves caramel apples, right? With all the wonderful craft ciders popping up we couldn’t resist using one to create a liquid version of this tasty seasonal treat. This shareable tipple is best enjoyed outdoors with the smell of fallen leaves. Ah, yes. It is fall at last!

img_5596-10-200x300-1

Here’s what you’ll need:

3 oz Black Walnut SweetShine

1 (750ml) bottle white wine

2 (12oz) bottles hard apple cider

2 apples, sliced

caramel sauce

cinnamon sticks (optional)

img_5338-2-2-200x300-1

First things first. Swirl your wine glasses with caramel sauce. (Inside! Not out.)

img_5344-2-1-200x300-1

Place them upside-down on parchment paper and chill in the freezer for 1 hour.

img_5354-1-200x300-1

Now on to the sangria. If you’re wondering what kind of wine to use, it really doesn’t matter too much for this cocktail. We used moscato here, but any white will make a good base.

img_5366-2-200x300-1

Go ahead and pour the whole bottle (750ml) into a large pitcher.

img_5395-4-200x300-1

The type of apple doesn’t really matter, either. Pick your favorite.

img_5418-5-200x300-1

Slice ‘em and toss ‘em right in with the wine.

img_5458-6-200x300-1

Above is what we’ve done so far.

img_5507-7-200x300-1

Now let’s add some bubbles …

img_5373-3-200x300-1

Pour in 2 (12oz) bottles of your favorite hard cider. We prefer one that’s not too sweet.

img_5625-11-200x300-1

And now the best part …

img_5526-8-200x300-1

That’s right, Black Walnut SweetShine! 3 oz will due here, but feel free to add as much as you like. Give it a stir and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

img_5574-1-200x300-1

Remember the glasses we prepped earlier?

img_5590-9-200x300-1

It’s time to fill ‘em up! We added some apple slices and a cinnamon stick to be fancy, but those are optional.

img_5247-2-11-200x300-1

There you have it. SweetShine’s Caramel Walnut Apple Sangria.

Cheers, y’all!
