For those of you here in the Bay Area, this Saturday, October 10th is the 2015 Bacon and Brew Oktoberfest presented by The San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce. All the info is below in the event poster and you can get tickets online at Eventbrite.
Nothing like some bacon and beer to get you in the Fall spirit. I have to say that I am super bummed that I cannot make it but I hope you can all go check it out.
And what does this all have to do with Biz BFF's? Well my Biz BFF is going to be set up there selling her awesome Handbrewed Soaps made with homemade beer. Her business is awesome. She started off making cold process soap to avoid using store-bought soap with all it's crazy unpronounceable ingredients (a woman after my own heart) and her husband loved brewing beer. Alyson (my Biz BFF) would experiment using different herbs and spices and one day decided to use her husband's homemade beer. And as her website says, they then decided to "marry their passions" and Handbrewed Soaps was born. I love it!
Alyson and I met through a business challenge. I decided to contact her to be my new Biz BFF since she is local here to Oakland as well and I am so glad I did. For any new business owners out there, get yourself a Biz BFF. It is so nice to gain an extra ear, motivational coach, cheerleader, sounding board, and collaborative partner through your Biz BFF. I love relationships built around a mutual benefit of giving and supporting. With Alyson I have found an amazingly talented, passionate, and centered soul and I'm so excited to be her Biz BFF.
So if you go to the Bacon and Brew Oktoberfest, please go check out Alyson and her awesome soaps. If you have a hard time finding her, just look for the booth decked out in Lumberjack décor. That's because "The Lumberjack and The Queen" Collection will be accompanying Handbrewed Soaps to the festival. Their booth will have all the plaid and gold trimmings to appeal to the bearded, lumberjack, beer loving masses. And if you love any of the pieces, Alyson has so graciously offered to take pre-sale orders so buy a few Upcycled "Plaid Shirt" Cloth Napkins or a fun Upcycled "Plaid Shirt" Mixed Bunting. Heck, you can place a pre-sale order for a whole collection while you are at it. But don't leave without some soap. :)
