This is weird. The existing text didn't seem to differ from Dogfish Head or New Belgium (for example), except Brunehaut has been brewing 100 years longer with a longer back story. I visited this brewery once a few years ago and enjoyed the experience. Then, over Labor Day 2019, I was showing a friend the Brunehaut Wikipedia page and noticed the content hadn't been updated for 8-9 years. (They are primarily French speakers at Brunehaut and no-one there could possibly make such edits.) As I recall, I replaced the old company logo with a new one, updated label changes by inserting a new(er) photo, added a couple of awards (footnoted), made a few text improvements/updates and added an external brewery photo. (How many breweries are fully solar powered?) I doubt I even used an adjective.

At 67 years old, I never intended to make many Wiki edits, but imagined I might if I noticed other content issues. Newly retired, I was foolishly encouraged by the automated NOTES that encouraged me to do more.

'''• You just made your tenth edit; thank you, and please keep going! : 9d '''• You just made your first edit; thank you, and welcome! : 11d '''• Welcome to Wikipedia, ‪AMarkMcLean‬! We're glad you're here. : 3mo'''

This inquiry put me off that notion.

 * Hi, I'd like to apologize. I was worried that you might be a paid editor, but that doesn't appear to be the case and it appears that I jumped to conclusions, the wrong conclusions. I'm glad that you are interested in improving Wikipedia, it's what I I like do as well and it's the entire point of being an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. And yes, your help is appreciated. I'll remove my inquiry, as I'm no longer concerned about your intentions. Clovermoss (talk) 23:36, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
