So what’s new at Rushing Duck? We’re still working on a lot
of things. Unfortunately that means lots of loose ends and unfinished projects,
which is very frustrating. I’ll start sleeping through the night again once we
can start getting some of these things completed. The biggest issue right now
is working towards getting licensed. We were going to give the forms to a
lawyer to fill out to make sure everything is done correctly, but the quote we received
from the law firm to do this was well out of our budget. Instead we’re gonna
try and tackle it ourselves. After going over it a ton, we think we’ve got
things pretty well laid out and organized, so hopefully we can file for the
licenses in the next week or so.
To balance out all of that tedious paperwork we decided that
we should get some fun work mixed in to keep us all sane. We’ve started taking
small steps in marketing and sales in the Hudson Valley area. What that really
translates to is visiting bars/restaurants/growler shops that serve craft beer
and getting a meal, some good beer, and talking about Rushing Duck to anyone
that will listen. We’ve also been talking to and visiting a lot of other
brewers in the general area to pick their brains about starting up, checking
out the layout of the breweries, and of course drinking delicious beer. Like I
said, this is the fun part.
