CConway3380 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Good evening everyone. Thank you ADI for allowing me to join. I'm really looking forward to meeting people, finding info and asking questions in pursuit of opening a small distillery. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect.

kleclerc77 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Lots of great distilleries and distillers in MA! Other states I've worked in have been pretty cut-throat and ruthless with their competition, but nearly every distillery in MA is WICKED friendly and helpful. They get that it's little guys vs big guys, not little guys vs each other. I'll be on the cape in a couple weeks, do you have anything up and running that I could come check out? Best of luck!

CConway3380 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hey Kyle. Thanks for the reply. No I'm just getting started on the road to owning and operating. What do you do for work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleclerc77 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I have been distilling for the past five years for various companies, and am currently heading production at a distillery in Oregon. I'll be on the cape early next month if you wanted to grab a beer and talk shop. I've been involved in starting up distilleries and am in the process of ordering all production equipment for this current facility so may have some helpful advice if you find yourself in need of it!

Larry G Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi Chris I am from Central Mass, I am new to distilling. I have been homebrewing for years and came across distilling from researching Brown Forman as part of a finance course I took for my MBA. Best of luck opening a distillery, I have to write a business plan for my MBA, if you have already written one I would be interested in knowing if you found any online resources to help you out with that.
