Geoff Dale (Co-Founder): The spirit of Three
Heads can be summarized in two words:
beer first.
Once a week, we’d get together and we’d
do these brew nights.
We’d have, you know, ten of our buddies
come over and we’d drink beer, make beer,
listen to music and just have a good time.
What was funny was that a year into the process,
we started to notice all our friends when
they came over were grabbing our beers, these
home brews, before these great West Coast
beers.
There is a huge gamble starting a business
like that.
I mean, we’ve all put it on the line.
You know, it’s been quite an eye opener
because it’s been like 17, 18 different
new facets of a business happened by actually
opening a facility, you know, and you need
to be able to have processes in place and
know that everything is going to work.
That’s one of the great things about Frontier
– it’s nice to know we don’t have to
think about it - we know our network is going
to be there, because if that goes down, this
tasting room doesn’t make any money, we
shut down.
Dan Nothnagle (Co-Founder): With Frontier,
we got great cost for the phone service and
great cost for a fiber, direct fiber line
to the pole internet service.
They worked with us on exactly what we needed
to move in here and the best solution for
us.
It was a great process working with Frontier
–we told them when we needed our fiber,
they came when they said they would, they
installed it easily.
Geoff Dale: Everyone that works here - from
the guy making boxes, to the guy sweeping
the floor, to the guy paying the bills cares
and believes in this company and we need to
make sure we’re being economical in any
way that we can.
And it’s amazing when you can get a good
network for a fair price.
We’ve gone through a lot of pints and a
lot of interactions, and we’ve never had
to worry about our network being down which,
you know, you can’t pay for that.
