Day 1, Hooray!

Hello world! We are Erin and Patrick, aka Mt. Olympus Brewing!
We are two friends living in Seattle, WA who have decided to start a brewery! Patrick has been a home brewer since 2003. Erin is a wanna-be entrepreneur. We are both beer lovers and decided this is the perfect way for us to combine our talents and pursue something that we love!
We hope you will follow us on our journey :)
