Ask the Experts - Patrick Rue
« on: August 03, 2011, 09:43:22 am »
Patrick Rue started homebrewing in 2003 during his first year of law school, which ignited a passion for great beer and the creative process of brewing. He followed his passion and founded The Bruery, which began production in 2008. Celebrating it's third year in business, Patrick's role at The Bruery has changed from doing just about everything to managing a company of 35 talented individuals. Recent accomplishments include opening The Bruery Provisions, a craft beer, wine and cheese store/tasting room in Old Towne Orange. The Bruery is distributed in 21 states and 4 countries. The Bruery strives to be a leading creative force in the craft brewing world.  From now until Aug. 14, Patrick will be taking questions on how a homebrewer goes about opening a brewery and moving into the world of commercial brewing.  If you'd like to ask him a question, please email it to AskTheExperts@brewersassociation.org .  Answers will be posted sometime around Aug. 22-24st.

Cool.  The Bruery puts out some mighty fine beers.

I hope very soon.  I've had some personal issues that have prevented me from following up in this like I should.  I'll get back on top of things next week.

So, don't take this as me being pushy or anything, but, should I give up hope on this? Was really looking forward to it since I had questions, myself.

I can understand the family stuff, though. Have three relatives who're on their way out.

Am I the only one unable to access this?  it keeps telling me to login, then giving me a 500 error when I click the button.  Frustrating . . .

I had a problem also. Emailed The AHA and they had me reenter password and no problems. Good info.

Yep, same here.  I think it has to do with the new database the AHA is using.

I still can't access it even after an email and a changed password.  Will try again later.
