USA, WA: Couple to launch Four-Eyed Guys Brewing Company in Spokane despite Covid-19
A Spokane couple is living out their dream to open their own brewery despite Covid-19 challenges, Fox 28 reported on July 26.
Four-Eyed Guys Brewing Company co-owners Hillary and Alex Rausch realized beer was going to play a big part in their story about three years ago.
We started brewing beer to save money for our wedding, and then I just fell in love with it, Alex Rausch said. Then the hobby obviously intensified into this.
The husband and wife team is preparing to open a brewery at 910 W Indiana, just a few minutes from downtown Spokane. The space will feature what they call their weird but not too weird signature beers, like a peanut butter sour.
Even a global pandemic couldnt keep them from missing this opportunity.
Weve been looking for a taproom space for about three years now and this one kind of just fell in our lap, Alex Rausch said.
They trust the timing, even though its a nerve-wracking time to open a business. Their brewing contemporaries across Washington state are preparing for Governor Inslees new Covid-19 restrictions to go into effect. They include prohibiting indoor service at breweries until further notice.
The couple cant predict what the future will hold, but they know theyre setting up shop in a supportive community. Theyre prepared to use to-go orders, delivery options and adaptive attitudes to survive whatever comes next.
Right now its definitely one day at a time because everything is changing, Hillary Rausch said. Its like well, cant think about that. Just keep going and do what we can do and take advantage of the time that we have to work on the business.
Four-Eyed Guys Brewing Co. expects to open by mid-September.
