Oregon Inspired - Indiana Brewed
Began Scarlet Lane Brewing Company three years ago.  (May 2014)
- Originally from Greencastle, IN
- Graduated with a Marketing Degree from Butler University
- Parents live in Astoria, Oregon

Lived in Euguene, Oregon (Home of Nike) 
(Book reference: Shoe Dog by Phil Knight)
- The Whitaker Neighborhood: "The other side of Eugene" = Lots of Hippies = Lots of Homeless People
(Book reference: Quarter Life Crisis)

"What Are You In To" vs. "What Do You Do For A Living" Mentality. 

Two Pivotal Moments that led Eilise to brewing. 
1) "She's not here"
2) Husband (Nick) purchased her a home brew kit and she smiled for the first time in a really long time.  
- She believed she needed to bring this feeling and the Oregon brewing styles back to Indiana.  

First beer that started everything was a stout at Bend Brewing Company, by Tonya Cornett.  (Eilise's brew-hero!)
First beer made in her kitchen, Sunrise IPA, full grain. Made a mess in her kitchen and she drank it. 

Studied at Butler to be a pharmacist. 
Proud to be a Butler grad as they were very supportive of her endeavor. 

Female Brewer in a Male Dominated Industry
-Starting in Oregon made the transition easier. 
-Physically not built like a man but can still get the job done. 
-"Is Nick really the head brewer?" 

Being a Woman! and Being the CEO and Head Brewer
"Why Don't You Wear a Dress?"
Investors - ALL WOMEN (except for one male five percenter)

Tasting Time!
Laughing Water - Australian Style
Asteria - As it warms up you will get more of the bite from the hops.
