MAKING THEIR DREAMS A REALITY.
AFTER YEARS OF HARD WORK
THEY HAVE OPENED THEIR VERY OWN
BREWERY IN THE HEART OF
MODESTO.
DAN MITCHINSON IS IN WITH A
SNEAK PEEK INSIDE.
Reporter: A BREWERY OPENS
AND WHO DO THEY THINK OF?
DAN MITCHINSON.
OBVIOUSLY SOMEBODY HAS BEEN
TALKING. WHAT IS NEAT ABOUT
THIS PLACE IS IT USED TO BE A
FORMER 7-UP PLANT AND A SHEET-
METAL FACTORY.
THEN, THIS HUSBAND AND WIFE
DECIDED TO TURN IT INTO A
BREWERY.
IT IS CALLED CONTENTMENT
BREWING COMPANY.
WHERE IS YOUR WIFE THIS
MORNING?
SHE IS IN RWANDA, AFRICA.
WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE?
BUILDING A BRIDGE TO GET THE
POPULATION ACROSS THE RIVER.
HE JUST CASUALLY THROWS THAT
OUT THERE.
SHE IS PRETTY AMAZING.
Reporter: IT IS PROBABLY A
LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK FOR HER
CONSIDERING WHAT GOES INTO
OPENING A BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE HAD THIS PLACE FOR
THREE YEARS.
IT OPENED UP TWO WEEKS AGO.
WHY A BREWERY?
WE WANTED A VEHICLE TO
SUPPORT MODESTO AND WE LOVE
BEER.
Reporter: A LOT OF PEOPLE
LOVE BEER BUT THEY DON'T OPEN A
BREWERY.
I GUESS WE ARE CRAZY THEN.
I DON'T KNOW.
GO BIG OR GO HOME.
Reporter: YOU SERVED OUR
COUNTRY DURING 9/11.
YOU WORKED WITH KIDS.
YOU ARE AN I.T.
GUY AND NOW YOU HAVE OPENED
THIS.
WHERE DID YOU GET THE MONEY IF
YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING FOR
FINANCING SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
WE PRETTY MUCH LEVERAGED
EVERY PENNY WE HAD. RETIREMENTS
AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF TO
FOLLOW OUR DREAMS.
Reporter: YOU HAVE BEEN OPEN
TWO WEEKS.
WERE YOU NERVOUS AT ALL?
TOO BUSY TO BE NERVOUS.
