Slackers

Soooo... It's been four months since our last post!! I know we are seriously slacking on keeping you updated.  Fortunately, we have a big following on Facebook and Twitter/ Instagram are on the rise and we have been updating them regularly.

What's been going on at Rushing Duck? Well we are distributing  beer to bars and our tasting room is now open Saturdays 12-5p.  Thanks to all of you our beer has been getting great reviews and has been selling. We are still only in the Hudson Valley and loving it!

We have four different beers now; Our Beanhead Coffee Porter (that won the Hudson Valley Beer Cup), Naysayer Pale Ale, Nimptopsical Ale, and our winter seasonal Ded Moroz Russian Imperial Stout.  Dan is still the only one working full time at the brewery.  He's been working extremely hard to make the best beer he possibly can.  I have been doing the office work, which I love, and occasionally deliveries and keg cleaning.  I've learned never to wear heels to the brewery or to sales meetings because I never know when I will be lugging a keg behind me.

We've have some coverage in the media that has helped us tremendously.  The local newspaper and bloggers are getting the word out about Rushing Duck and we can not be more appreciative.  We rely on social media and traditional media to get the work out because are marketing budget is still $0.  We also thank you for liking and sharing our posts!

I think I've touched on all the big news, like being opened and all! What's next for RD? Barrel-aged beer!! Dan and I are really going to blog from now on, promise, maybe.

If you haven't already follow us @rushingduck on Twitter/ Instagram and at www.facebook/rushingduck.com
