David Sakolsky of Deciduous Brewing Co

[yasky]

Finally a reason to go to Newmarket!

 

[sleepydave1]

Here's hoping!

 

[yasky]

If not any chance I can convince you to relocate to Niagara?

 

[sleepydave1]

Probably not. The location is pretty well set at this point barring any massive unforseen issue. I like this little town, and my apt is a stones throw from the brewery.

 

[sleepydave1]

Deciduous Brewing Co. LLC is now an actual thing .
Lots of paperwork progress today!

 

[Os]

all the excite!

I actually think I know what it is from some internet stalking, but I won't blow up his spot.

I was right! NH Tradename brewing lookup plus last letter S FTW!

I do like the name a lot, though.

 

[gregkoko]

ISO: Deciduous
FT: Cellar

Ooh, I like dat name

 

[WillRunForBeer1]

Good name. Might I recommend a Tree House collaboration? Maybe call it Secret Squirrel?

 

[sleepydave1]

We actually tried to get one going, but couldn't work it out schedule wise this year.
I'm actually kind of worried that it's too close to Perennial in all honesty, we may do a DBA, but the LLC was formed as Deciduous Brewing Co. But now I'm just thinking aloud...

too close to Perennial? That's kind of a stretch IMO. I think you're good.

 

[sleepydave1]

That's actually reassuring. You know I love to obsess.

 

[Auror]

Isn't it the opposite of Perennial? Similar name conceptually I guess, but completely different meaning, especially as it relates to beer and seasonality. It's a better name for beer than Perennial I think.

 

[sleepydave1]

Mostly, but I believe you can have Deciduous Perennials though, in the name of making this even more confusing haha.

You gotta brush up on your botany if you're sticking with that name! haha

If Stone and Boulder can co-exist, I'm sure you'll be fine. Best of luck, Dave. Can't wait to scoot across the border and get me hands on your wares.

 

[ShogoKawada]

question for you:

what packaging formats have you settled on? Or is that still up in the air?

 

[sleepydave1]

Still debating at this time. Early on, expect at least 500ml bottles, 750ml growlers, and 2L growlers.

 

[lucas1801]

Beer styles as you grow? I would assume some pale types to get going but long term what beers do you plan to make? Say Bretted Saisons please

 

[sleepydave1]

Going to run the gamut as usual. Mostly americanized styles with lots of English and German influences and ingredients.
Its all about reaction. I know roughly what I want to do in a perfect world, but customers, sales, etc will dictate a lot of the lineup from month to month. However I will say there will be 2-3 flagships because I like a small semblance of familiarity. One flagship is being debated in re: to packaging the other two will most likely be draft only.

Not sure if I answered or dodged your question, but in the name of closure...
Expect a few Brett fermd saisons as long as they pass QC. The old "...Farmboy's Wages" monoculture sacchro saison never should have been released (how I pleaded) and I'm still not happy with my straight saccrho saisons. My alliteration is strong though...

 

[sleepydave1]

Alrighty, we've got some glass going in along the outside, walls are up, roof is on, tasting room floor is polished up... progression! Tanks should be here January, very early on. STILL finalizing branding, and should have more definitive oak news by the end of the month. TTB paperwork is in progress. Hell, I think that may be it for now. Feels like a while since I last updated you guys though.
Standing from just in front of the floor drains facing the front entry and tasting room for this shot:

Our humble tasting room will occupy the 600sqft teal area:

 

[Auror]

That's cool. Tasting room being in the middle of everything reminds me of Stoneface's a little bit. Windows looking in on 3 sides?

 

[sleepydave1]

We only are renting the middle third so the tasting room will butt right against our wall to Panzanella's pizza. Only windows on the two parallel sides of the tasting room. Looking outside, and then looking out from the tasting room to the barrel area. Debating a small pellet stove/fireplace as well.

If I recall, at Stoneface Pete has 2-3x the sqftage we do.

 

[sleepydave1]

They started putting in the interior walls, this should clarify a little better than my last post haha.

 

[sleepydave1]

Kind of really excited to get our oak program up and moving. Starting with cognac, armagnac, and bordeaux. All oversized.
Nearly time to start small scaling some of the new recipes destined for these 'kings of New England.' Segue, no, i cant legally brew cider.

 

[Auror]

Confirmed: Deciduous Brewing making year-round flagship raspberry sour in armagnac barrels.

 

[SeaWatchman]

armagnac

 

[sleepydave1]

Sitting here heavily medicated waiting for word on my root canal, and I figured I'd give a little update.

-Tanks start coming in end of the month, brewhouse arrives by the 10th of Jan
-a number of hop samples and fruit samples came yesterday
-Drywall starts around the 19th of Dec
-Electricians and Plumbers coming in asap, have a meeting this week

[Skittle34]

Sounds like things will be up and running within the next couple months? Beer roughly the beginning of April?

That's teh plan, here's hoping! The big question mark right now, it seems, is the government. But fingers crossed they move fast and end of q1 (april/may) should be doable.

Edit, oh and looks like I forgot to cross post when it happened; but we have front doors now too!

And then the next day we got a little storm...

 

[Os]

let me know when the first brew day is! I want to come up!

said it before and ill say it again

shotgun

 

[tehzachatak]

Open soooooon so I can stop edging the whole time every time I drive from Boston to Portland

 

[sleepydave1]

Front siding is up, keys in hand, forklift landing monday, fermenters land tuesday, and then weve got about a month to get our finish work done before the brewhouse arrives.
Just about everything is on a slight delay sadly but not by much.
Ive also got a single hop test batch on tap at the appartment, so im getting slightly less rusty before asking for money for beer

Hope the holidays/vacation treated everyone well!

Wooooooooooooo

 

[Os]

so... February?

 

[sleepydave1]

I wish. God how I wish. February the brewhouse lands. Still looking at April/May at the earliest most likely. Most of the current time frame is Government dependent more so than anything else. I'll be brewing the second they say I can. And we'll be open about a month later with multiple taps.
