I got this very sad news in my e-mail today and thought I would share it here w/ all of you.

Dear Fermenting Friends,
I regret to inform you that my father, John Arthur, founder of What's
Brewin', passed away on June 22nd. Dad and I were the only two people
here, so now I am the sole person at What's Brewin'. I have decided
to keep the store open, but I have reduced the hours to allow myself
some time to sort out how to operate the business by myself. What's
Brewin's current hours until further notice are: Wednesday -
Saturday, 11am - 6pm. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience
that the recent store closure may have caused any of you, and I hope
you can understand why we were closed unexpectedly without notice. I
request that everyone try to be patient with me while I work on
getting the business back on track. You have all been excellent
customers and I greatly appreciate your patronage. I hope the recent
events haven't discouraged any of you from continuing to do business
with us, and I can assure you that I'm trying my hardest to maintain
the quality and service that you all count on for your home-beverage
making needs. Thank you all very much for your patience and your
patronage.
Sincerely,

Levi Arthur
