HedgeBird Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Re-reading my post it seems I could have phrased that better. What sounded like a friendly, sarcastic teasing type of comment in my head reads on paper as a bit mean and insulting. I hope that my willingness to share info and suggestions demonstrates that I am not/was not intending to be insulting. Apologies for my poor choice of words! Makami - What your describing sounds like it would be a fine product and a bit different than what most small distilleries are already making! Its probably also a better business model. I look forward to purchasing and drinking your product when its available! Southernhighlander - I can't disagree with anything your saying! Cheers!

Roger Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I can never quite grasp the nuance between distillers who don't actually do anything other than warm up someone else's distilled spirtis, and bartenders. Oops, I mean mixologists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sator Square Distillery Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm just about to get started in the next couple of months here in PA. I can't speak to NJ, but I think this is a good time to start a limited distillery in PA. Act 39 and 166 have made it easier to interconnect your products with limited wineries and breweries in PA. At least where I am, it feels more like a cooperative than a competitive market. The more locally made product that's available draws in more people, which is good for everyone. My situation is not typical to most starting up, but if you have any PA specific questions I could share my own personal experience navigating. Best of luck.

Elixir Distilling Company Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I am also thinking hard whether to setup in NJ or in my case just over the border in NYS. I WANT to stay in Jersey and the plan we are working on centers around staying here. Its tough though with some confusion as to what we can do and what we cant. Granted the laws are pretty recent. Have any of you NJ people run into anything unexpected? How much easier is it to get going in New York State? Thanks -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makami Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
