From my buddy Marcus, who lives up in Seattle and Dutch Harbor, Alaska...
Quote
Well it's official. Tomorrow we 4 fools take possession of our Production Plant...... We started this company on 09:09:09 and it only seems fitting that we move in on April Fool's day...... :D :D :D :D
We hope to have product available this summer. We are producing 3 primary lines..... Good Morning Glory GROG @ 70 proof, Dutch Harbor Breeze @ 100 Proof and Dog Watch Vodka @ 80 proof...........

This the first time any of us have gone out on our own........Wish us Luck!!!!!


Here's a pic of the new mascot of Ye Ol' Grog Distillery..



And here's a pic of a sample label...



I'm the first official Grog Wench and pimper...so when it's available I'll let you know so you can request it from your local adult beverage supplier.  I can't wait to get my tshirt! :good  :drink  :D  :pirate

"This is for all the friends I've known, this is for all the ones who've never left me alone. This is for all the ones I've lost along the way...thanks for being a part of today."

A real good "Grog Wench and Pimper" would have a truck load of samples delivered to Desert Storm. :good  That would be refered to as Nationwide exposure really cheap.

Dang, you're right, Ken....but if it was later in the summer it might be doable.  They're still waiting on permits and stuff.  But maybe next year...I'll definitely put a bug in Marcus' ear! :good

Don't think you need a permit to give samples away. I'll check on that. Micro Breweries are only Micro for one of two reasons, One the marketing stinks, or two, the product stinks. Actually there a 3rd, cost. :eek

No, but you need the permits for the plant to produce the number of samples we'd need! ;)

Love the mascot! I'll take a girly shirt if they decide to make one.  Keep me posted.  Very cool.  Not much of a beer drinker anymore, though.

edit: nevermind, I see it's not beer. Vodka it looks like? Something else too?

Right now the merchandising is taking a back seat to getting production up and running, but I'll be sure to let him know that there is interest so they can get a move on. :good


I like the idea of R&D "by product"! :laugh  I'll have to see if I can sell him on that.  It's going to be a little bit crazy for awhile...he's in WA but the plant is in Oregon.  I'm thinking I might need to be taking a road trip in the near future...so I can haul away some "by product"! :D
