So FBBC is downsizing their brewer... (the one they hired after the last one left who hasn't even been there for a year I don't believe):

https://www.instagram.com/p/C1KugBlOkOA/

costhebrewer: Final grain out. I was just getting the hang of this rig. What a bummer. Oh well… on to the next adventure. #whoneedsabrewhouse #whoneedsabrewer

And when someone commented asking "Wait … what? I have really loved your creations. What I miss?" He responded with:

costhebrewer: downsizing staff and stopping in house brewing. Not sure where things go from here for the business.

So now Family Business BEER Company is just... not making beer anymore. What kind of brewery doesn't make their own beer?

My bet is they will be out of business (sold or closed) before 2025. And they are going to make good use of the fine print on those memberships that said they can cancel them at any time. (A jerk AA decided to ask Cos on this post if they are still getting their members only party... read the room dude, your party does not trump someone losing their job during the holidays...)

Also, can we just talk about the fact that they are laying him off AT CHRISTMAS?!!? Seriously read through his responses to people on that post. He even says he'll be done in Jan and is sending out resumes but that its a bad time to have to be doing that.

Also an AA was being an idiot and saying how great it was and he had to be like "I don't know if you don't get what's happening or are just being mean because this isn't a good thing"

Link. Oh noe Danneel's brother doesn't have a job, again! Won't somebody think of the chronically unemployed himbros!

Eh, not surprising. Between my predictions of FBBC sinking in about 5 years (X) (X) (X) and 2023 being the year for contraction for the brewery industry and Jensen's own lack of business acumen, honestly is anyone surprised? Anyone?

With the downsizing, it sounds like the Ackles have moved to contract brewing, meaning they're using another established brewery to make FBBC beer. In this arrangement, the contract brewer can help the "guest company" with packaging and shipping. In other words, in true Ackle's fashion, he's going to let others do the mundane day to day work.

Once I saw the bottling and canning I knew the Ackles wanted to go big with FBBC and never intended to stay a small craft brewery. In order for your craft brewery to succeed you either a very small local, owner-operator with minimal distribution, or you go really big and spend a fortune on marketing in order to compete for shelf space in stores across the state or county.

Anyways, let's have a Throw Back Thursday to FBBC's first promo picture, which completely threw me and wondered what noob thought this was a good idea because Gino and Danneel looked like happily married husband and wife while Jensen looked like the loser relative who sleeps on their couch while waiting for his music to be discovered.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you're all ready for this year to end already. I'm pretty sure given what's happened in Jensen's life, he sure is ready for 2023 to go out the door. Big Sky and The Winchesters getting cancelled, FBBC having 2 brewers quit in 1 week, firing several other employees according to some posts that were here on Tumblr and on Instagram, and let's not forget The Winchesters lawsuit that was filed earlier this year. I'm aware some people here have been speculating on what is to come of Jensen's brewery FBBC, so I thought I'd share a little bit of some interesting history with regards to the Ackles and Graul families in business.

In a previous post, I talked about some of the history of FBBC itself being tied to a brewery called County Coast Brewing Company that was in the Malibu, California area back in 2013. The former address was 29201 Heathercliff Road #116 in Malibu, CA. Gino was the listed owner of this brewery that was incorporated 10/4/2013 and became inactive 10/9/2017, 4 years and 5 days after this company was formed. Its current inactive status is listed as Suspended Ftb/Sos. One noteworthy mention here, I couldn't find this County Coast Brewing Company anywhere as being say "permanently closed" as you would other businesses. No Google reviews or searches are available either for this company. Hmm, it's just like it never existed unless you know to look up Gino's name and affiliated LLCs or remember the name of this company...

According to this website, it says under the Why is My Business Suspended section: "Generally, businesses are suspended when they fail to:

File a return

Pay

Taxes

Penalties

Fees

Interest

You may be able to find out the reason for suspension using MyFTB. Business entities registered with Secretary of State (SOS) must file and pay at least $800 franchise or annual tax from their registration date to current, regardless of business activity. Visit due dates for businesses for more information on when to file and pay."

After doing some further research thanks to this Tumblr post, it does seem that after Jensen filed for the incorporation of Family Business Beer Company back on 11/5/2014 in Dallas Texas, 1 year, 1 month and 1 day after County Coast Brewing Company was filed in California under Gino's name. Interestingly enough, a couples post that were seemingly tied to the County Coast Brewing Company dated prior to FBBC opening doors in January 2018 are still on the Facebook page. This post dated 4/8/2014 BEFORE FBBC was incorporated but is on the FBBC Facebook page states "On our way to Denver for the 2014 Craft brewer's Conference!!!" This photo dated 12/8/2013 has a caption stating "looking forward to trying out our newest batch of Pale Ale!" Again, no comments on it date past 3/17/2017 just like the other post that predates the official opening of FBBC in Austin on 1/10/2018 by several years.

The other Tumblr post I mentioned here even has a screenshot (along with several others) of posts that have been deleted including one that was posted on 1/24/2015 at 6:56pm saying "County Coast is moving location and names!!!!!! WTF?! Haha, relocating to the South. #AustinTexas get ready!!!!" Given the Graul and Ackles family histories of deleting comments they deemed unsavory on the FBBC Instagram page, it doesn't surprise me that they cleaned up shop on the internet and Facebook pages to try eliminating the existence of the failed County Coast Brewing Company and rebranding their Facebook page to become Family Business Beer Company's. According to this article, it states "While living in California, Jensen and Gino often brewed their own beers at home. The family moved to Austin and decided to finally open their own place. They found the Dripping Springs property in 2014, hooked up with now-head brewer Nate Seale, and got started from there." Guess they forgot to mention the former location the had in California that got suspended due to noncompliance with state tax regulations. Hmm....

Now, this is where things start to get interesting regarding the history of both the Ackles and Graul families and business. I mentioned the suspended ftb status that was put on the County Coast Brewing Company before. I also took the liberty of researching LLCs affiliated with Jensen and Danneel and found some similar statuses on previous companies they had incorporated in the past. I elected to put some notes to summarize things like when these companies were voluntarily dissolved (or straight up suspended) in the screenshots below. The Ackles Talent Services, Inc. California branch that was incorporated 6/22/2010 was suspended on 4/2/2013 and also has a forfeited ftb status which translates to the same status that is on the other brewing company that was in Gino Graul's name.

Looking over Danneel's companies, there is a Talking Poodle Productions, Inc. that holds the status "Inactive action by Secretary of State" that used to read as "Active not in good standing for failure to file annual report". According to this website for 2006 Louisiana laws titled 2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 12:163 — Failure to file annual reports; revocation and reinstatement of articles and limitation on authority to do business with the state, it states the following interesting tidbits of information: "§163.  Failure to file annual reports; revocation and reinstatement of articles and limitation on authority to do business with the state

A.  Where a corporation has failed to designate and maintain a registered office, or to designate and maintain a registered agent pursuant to the provisions of R.S. 12:104, for a period of ninety consecutive days, or where a corporation has failed to file an annual report for three consecutive years, according to the records of the secretary of state, the secretary of state shall revoke the articles of incorporation and franchise of such corporation."

Also, "F.(1)  As used in this Subsection the phrase "not in good standing" means any corporation which is delinquent in filing an annual report.

(2)  Each corporation, domestic and foreign, which is not in good standing is prohibited from engaging in commercial business operation with the state or its boards, agencies, departments, or commissions.  Any contract between a corporation which is not in good standing and the state or its boards, agencies, departments, or commissions is subject to be declared null and void, by said board, agency, department, or commission or by the Division of Administration."

There are of course other parts I didn't put in here for the sake of keeping this post a reasonable length but it seems that the bottom line message is the same here: The Grauls and Ackles have a history of not complying with tax laws and is unlikely they simply forgot to file taxes or annual reports as necessary. Was this to hide questionable financial practices? Are both families hiding unethical behaviors? Are they unable to afford accountants who can properly file all reports with state and federal tax governmental branches appropriately, so they can stay in business? Are these simple, honest mistakes on behalf of the Graul and Ackles' families? Not sure what you all think of this but it is entirely possible with this information here that there are some questionable business practices going on here and that the speculations here about FBBC not doing so good just might have some factual basis.

Wow!!! Please tell me you saw JA new IG post. I have been following your board for a while now and I think you would probably have the most incite on what is going on. J looked kinda out of it and the fact that he didn’t do a post with the family, I feel, says a lot without actually saying it. I hope to God he is doing ok. I think I can speak for a lot of us is that we just want that man to finally be happy.

Hello Anon, thank you for the ask. I saw this IG post and didn't feel too much was out of place in this post actually. Believe it or not, I do know a particular demon has been coming and going from Jensen for years now, but it has done so more in the the last couple years. He sounds and looks more "strained" and has a darker energy around him when it is present in him. I can also see it in people's eyes when there is a demon present; it's as if there's a bottomless pit in the pupils and the overall eyes look harsher or just generally not as vibrant looking. It's not so much like the movies such as The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Christine, etc.... at least for now, that is. I can say this with 💯 certainty the demon that has been coming and going was NOT in Jensen in this photo or the video. He seemed more content and calm in the short video clip. I imagine if he was having a bad time he would've held off making any holiday related posts until later, given he cares about his image A LOT.

I am aware some people question whether he was with Danneel in CT for this post and instead with someone else like Jared. I can say with 💯 confidence it IS the CT house he is outside of. As you can see below, the off white brick accent is present around the window with the lower brick on the righthand side of the window being blocked by Jensen's glass (can see it if you look closely enough), the black door with the large glass pane, black window rails, sashes and grilles (basically the inside parts of the window), and bricks coloring are consistent with the CT house. Regarding the video clip, after putting in my earbuds I think the woman's voice was coming from inside the house. Who he may have been looking at while outside and laughing at I can't say. If sources are correct, during the M&G at Nashcon he stated both sides of the family are invited to the CT house for Christmas. Therefore, it's more logical to conclude it may have been a family member's voice that was coming from inside the house and could've been a family member he was outside with. He very likely stepped out to have a private talk with someone outside of the house away from others.

I'm also aware one of the now former brewers announced on his IG page he was informed he will no longer have a job at FBBC. Initially it sounded like he was fired on that day but it seems he will be coming in to clean up after the holidays are done. If you ask me, it is more or less the same to me as being let go on Christmas. Some are speculating that FBBC's next steps are to sell the equipment then the location. Others are giving FBBC until the end of 2024 before they permanently shut doors. I speculated earlier this year per this post from August 6 it's entirely possible that Jensen purchased the CT house due to having plans for opening a new brewery in CT. I'll explain later in this post but I am aware that Gino was the named manager/owner of another company that seems to have been rebranded to FBBC. It seems with this being said, it's entirely possible history is set to repeat itself in a sense that they just may be packing their bags from Austin to Fairfield business wise too.

Of course, the zoning laws wouldn't allow it to be on the actual property of their house as some people assumed they might open a B&B on this lot. Because why would Jensen purchase such a giant house "so suddenly" otherwise? Zoning laws in Fairfield, CT would not allow it on his lot let alone given the type of zone this house is in; over 10 years ago in 2013, the residents of Fairfield objected to a B&B opening up about 4 miles from this house as a woman named Coke Anne Wilcox made a Text Amendment 652 proposal to amend local laws regarding commercial usages for properties in residential zones. The law amendment never passed and that woman ended up selling the same house she wanted to open the B&B at in September 2016. The zoning laws also won't allow any manufacturing to occur on the type of lot the CT house sits in. Sorry guys but this speculation of them opening a B&B or a brewery on this house's lot is just not factually correct.

I just learned yesterday FBBC operated under another name out in the Malibu, California area years before FBBC opened doors in 2018 thanks to this amazing Tumblr post. It contains a link to an FBBC post dating back to 2013. I believe that even though Jensen was not a technical owner of this brewery, it seems to me that County Coast Brewing Company was rebranded to become Family Beer Business Company and opened doors in Austin in 2018. Per the screenshots in that Tumblr post I linked to earlier in this paragraph, a Facebook post made on January 24, 2015 (now deleted) was made saying "County Coast is moving location and names!!!!!! WTF?! Haha, relocating to the South. #AustinTexas get ready!!!!!" Per opencorporates.com, this County Coast Brewing Company was created on October 4, 2013 and dissolved October 9, 2017. Family Business Beer Company, LLC was created on November 5, 2014 a little over a year after Gino filed to open County Coast Brewing Company. I did some digging after reading that Tumblr post and it seems that County Coast Brewing that named Gino as the now former owner/manager is listed as Suspended FTB as of between July 10, 2021 and October 30, 2022. Not sure why it updated years after it was dissolved but from having done multiple searches on this website, it seems many LLCs may have had updated in 2021 and 2022 perhaps from technical updates going on with the way this website searches and updates its database? From a quick Google search, per the Franchise Tax Board the top result this status means "A business entity is typically suspended, or forfeited, by Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for failure to meet its tax requirements, such as; File a state tax return. Pay. Taxes. Penalties."

Now going back to the bottom line message of what you were saying to me and what you asked Anon. Jensen as I said in past posts is a "dumped" incarnation currently. He has some work to do in order to gain back his higher selves. A "soul" needs to have a higher self in order to be able to ascend off of Earth after this lifetime. I mentioned before this is a redemption lifetime for Jensen. The bad luck he's been experiencing goes back to being out of touch with his spiritual side and has chosen to focus too much on money and the physical realm of things. Hades Odin and Hermes have expressed their frustrations with him to me on multiple occasions. They've tried to warn him about multiple things in his divine hearing that are bad ideas to follow through on, including but not limited to signing on for Rust, not selling his share of and letting go of FBBC and especially allowing the awful Supe Juice idea to go through, The Winchesters, buying the CT house, etc. I also mentioned before Loki stated Jensen needs to "lose lots of money and his fucking attitude" as part of his redemption. It seems with the lawsuit having its first hearing on Jan 23, 2024 amongst the other things going on that Jensen is certainly in for a rough ride.

Thank you for the ask Anon and I am glad to hear you appreciate my posts :)
