    Funny story... I used to landscape for the maker of White Claw when I worked landscaping during summers in college... Back then his money was from Mike's Hard and some local wineries but since White Claw blew up he's now a billionaire. I can tell some stories about his wealth that I was privy to. To touch on a couple... his live-in butler drove a $100,000 Benz, and was actually an old bald British dude like Alfred from Batman.

    When the list of highest valued properties in Vancouver comes up in the news every year, his are usually something like #2 and #3 (Lululemon founder Chip Wilson is #1)... people don't realize the two homes, which are vastly different styles from the exterior, are more like one house connected underground with a glass elevator that comes up in the middle on their 'Great Lawn.' I was there over a couple summers while they were building the second house (it wasn't done once I finished college and stopped landscaping summers, so it took 3+ years to built). It was a sort of Spanish inspired modern mansion, and the contractors on site told me there was no budget, and for things like flooring and wainscotting there was a tolerance of only 1mm for them to be off (or something like that). Everything in the house was imported from Europe.

    We were insanely careful around there because some of the statues and stonework around the property were imports worth tens or hundreds of thousands... and we were just clumsy kids mowing lawns. They probably should've vetted us better, not sure how my boss every got in there but it was his golden ticket.

    They had three full time pro landscapers who maintained flowers inside and outside with a large greenhouse in the back 5 days a week, plus they'd have our landscaping company come in for at least two days a week (charging $65/hr x 3-4 staff for 8 hours) to mow the lawns with his custom $6,000 lawnmowers (two identical mowers, one for the 'great lawn' and one for the rest), and to basically navel-gaze the rest of the time - shit liking weeding garden beds with specs of weeds that was totally unnecessary (I'd rather have been running around town mowing shittier lawns any day). Sometimes I'd even get OT to drive over on weekends and water plants... because I guess his three full time staff got paid enough that they didn't want the extra work (???).

    All in all, a really nice guy though. He gave us cases of beer and sparkling water on hot summer days.

    Edit: Extra story - we watched him back his extremely fancy car out of his garage and smash it into the retaining wall pretty good. He just laughed, gave us a wave, and drove on.

    That's a lot of employment!

    Gotta wonder how much the whole Buckingham palace/Lords/Ladies thing in England costs to maintain

    As soon as my buddy discovered them, within a week, Portnoy was drinking them and saying how great they were, ~1 month later, like sold out nationwide. Vodka, pure juice, seltzer, that's it. Blows any alcohol made from sugar or other vile methods right out of the water.

    You only THINK the claws taste natural....right now

    Good stuff on ya brewery man! I'll have to check it out sometime.
