  1. Hello Everyone, Well we had to put our project on hold the past three years, 2020 mainly due to Covid. We are now planning to move full speed ahead, hopefully in time for the pandemic to start dying down and businesses taking advantage of the post-Covid pent-up demand. From what I see not much has changed in terms of regulations for neither PA nor NJ so we are now focusing on the NYS. Anyone has any advice on taking advantage of any grants, financial assistance in the Hudson Valley. Also, any word of advice on self distribution? We will start super small and plan to self distribute in the early stage of brand building. Thanks!
  2. Thank you for your replay and advice! Just to clarify our product is not crap, we are using proprietary process of macerating natural fruit and spices with GNS and letting them age to develop quite exquisite flavors. So we are not a direct competition to any distilleries as it is a quite specific product, more like an elegant sipping liquor, and with that, a different market positioning and I am aware I cannot draw direct parallels with you Distillery guys. However in the eyes of PLCB I am to apply for a limited distillery license and follow the same rules. We could be a nice addition to your tasting room drinks! Thanks anyway!
  3. Hello, I am in the planning stage for a small craft blended spirits/ liquors facility and am debating between PA, NJ, and NY. Our number one choice is Pennsylvania as this is where we would prefer to live. Did anything change in terms of the distribution laws since this last post? I did inquire with the PLCB but the response was not overly specific and focused on their listing program. I also have a hard time understanding the "up to 5 tasting rooms" rule which seems to be great for direct sales as long as you have the funds to lease 5 different retail establishments and pay the supporting sales force. Any advice? Lastly, how is going out of state working for you in terms of getting attention of distributors? I would like to sell limited in NJ and perhaps NY.
  4. Hi Everyone! We are a new start-up for boutique infused spirits using all natural ingredients and age-old recipes. We do not intend to be a full-fledged distillery but rather a blending facility. We are looking to open in the Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I am a bit concerned it is a control state but I see other people are quite successfully meandering through the rules. Happy to become a part of this awesome group and the craft spirits movement.
