Almost There!!


Hey Everyone, It’s Nikki again! I just wanted to update you on our progress over the past few weeks.  If you have been following us on Facebook you probably know that we have been working our behinds off to get you beer. So here are some facts to keep you 100% in the know:
1)      We are not opened to the public yet.  We need to finish up our tasting room to look all pretty for you to come relax and have some samples.  We also have to get it inspected and, like everything, this takes time.
2)      We are not a bar/ brewpub.  We can give out samples to you, but we cannot sell pints or food.  Beer will be available to go and we will update you on the bars that are carrying our beers! A community board will be up in the brewery to allow you to find local places that you can eat and have a few pints of RD beer :).
3)      We are draft only to start.  No bottles just yet.
4)      We are not a big brewery.  In time Rushing Duck plans on expanding; however, in the immediate future we will remain small and only available in the Hudson Valley.  We like it here and have experienced an overwhelming amount of support from our local community.  Our intentions are to provide beer for our local bars and shops and not overextend our distribution into markets that we are not able to supply.  The Hudson Valley rocks!
Ok, enough with the boring stuff! Naysayer Pale Ale is brewed and ready to walk out the door.  We are just waiting on some more approvals from the state and we can finally be in bars.  We will let you know what’s going on! Thanks for the support.  Here is a sneak peek at our tasting room! --Nikki
