Backward Flag is almost ready to open their brewery in Forked River but they need our help. Here’s what Torie sent us.
Thank you for taking the time to support Backward Flag Brewing Company. It is a dream that is quickly turning into a reality. We have put our heart and soul, along with every cent we could scrounge up into this project. We are very close to opening our doors but based on our calculations it looks like we may need a little help!
If you are able to back them on Kickstarter, please do.
I’ll consider it if they go with a different name
Personally I think the name and logo are great. I’m guessing you don’t realize the significance of it. I never served but have enormous respect for our veterans and can’t wait to buy some stuff with their logo.
Here’s why soldiers wear backward flags: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2003/03/soldiers_and_their_backward_flags.html
Agree. Horrible name. I am interested in hearing the story behind it, but really!!??
and horrible logo.
Here’s your story, John and Richard. I’m sure you’ll understand after reading http://backwardflagbrewing.com/about/
Google ‘backward flag’ and see the meaning. I see/hear ‘backward flag’ and immediately think of us military heading to battle.
As best intentioned the name and logo are, especially in these times, mixing politics, military, and drinking may not be the best business plan. my 2¢
They are vets, the backward flag represents who they are. Not sure what is political about that.
