It’s the first Monday of 2021 and we have Monday motivation on the brain at Rightside. We know staying on track with goals is on the forefront of your minds in January, so we are doubling down on the content this month around goal setting. We’ve partnered with some great coaches from all facets of life to get their advice on setting goals and keeping up with them. Every Thursday, we’ll be posting those conversations on Instagram so be sure to check that out. For the January blog posts, we decided to pull some of those coaching insights and create

how to set and achieve your goals for 2021
New Year’s resolutions are upon us! Fun fact: New Year’s has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love all the traditions that come with pressing the reset button (particularly after a year like 2020). A lot of people knock resolutions because people fail to stick with them. I on the other hand, really appreciate the collective effort on self-improvement regardless of the outcome. I approach resolutions and goals a little differently each year. In past years, I’ve thought of a mantra and set a few goals around that. I love that Oprah chooses a “word” for her year
brew tracker – canning & packaging our non-alcoholic beer
We are at the FINAL stage of our inaugural brew and are so excited to dive into what goes into that last step before it hits your doorstep or your local retailer. On this post, we will cover different types of packaging, the pros and cons of each, and where trends are headed. After the beer goes through its final processing and is ready to be consumed, there are a variety of ways to package it so it arrives to consumers fresh and tasty. Bottles – Bottles have been the more traditional container for beer for centuries. For a long
making our non-alcoholic beer – dealcoholization
If you’re new to the December posts, welcome! We’ve been tracking our first brew’s progress and highlighting details of each step along the way. We are nearing the end (so exciting!) and are entering the dealcoholization process. What happens during this phase? We’ve brewed a beer mostly like any other beer (at least in process but not necessarily formulation) and then we are going to remove the alcohol through a filtration process. Check out our earlier post on all the popular methods of brewing a non-alcoholic beer as filtration is just one way (but we are partial that it’s the
making our non-alcoholic beer – fermentation
We are so excited that our first brew is in the brite tank and soon to be going through the de-alcoholization process. We are a couple steps ahead of the blog posts but wanted to keep you posted on how fermentation went and what that step entails. Fermentation begins once we pitched the yeast on brew day. According to justbeerapp.com, “during fermentation, yeast converts the sugary wort into actual beer by producing alcohol, a wide range of flavours and carbon dioxide. The duration of the fermentation process varies from batch to batch. The length it takes for beer to ferment
making a non-alcoholic beer – brew day
Rightside is releasing our first brew this month and I couldn’t be more excited to share with y’all! If this is your first visit to the blog, welcome! For those that have been on the journey with us, I am truly so grateful for your support and excitement. Since this is THE release month, we wanted to peek into the brewing process to give y’all an idea of where the brew is and how quickly you can expect it on shelf & on your doorstep. This month, we will be lifting the lid on brewing a non-alcoholic beer and you
what’s in a 30 day challenge?
What’s in a 30 day challenge? Some of y’all may have heard of Sober October – a challenge to not drink alcohol for the month of October. A lot of people also participate in Dry January (same concept, different month). I started thinking about these types of challenges, the motivation behind them, and why they work. Other wellness challenges that come to mind are Whole 30 and various 30-day fitness challenges like holding planks every day for a month. Let’s dig into the motivation behind these challenges and find out if they are effective. Psychological Pull – There’s a pull
building your support system
Starting any endeavor, especially a business, is no easy feat. It sounds simple, but no one knows everything. That small step of acknowledgment leads to outreach, and I have found the more support behind me, the likelier I am to achieve what I set out to do. When I started with the idea of Rightside Brewing, I didn’t have the first clue about brewery operations. By a stroke of luck, I got paired with a mentor that had started his own brewery through the Notre Dame business plan competition. He provided immense knowledge where I had literally zero experience. Knowing
celebrate every tiny victory
I am admittedly a little bit of a goal-setting junkie. I love a good project plan and seeing a project come to life as I check each item off the to-do list. Last week, I shared how some objectives (like starting a business) are SO big that breaking them down into smaller, micro goals can allow for a more digestible path forward. I was listening to the Rise podcast with Rachel Hollis (the inspiration for this week’s post), and she had some insights on celebrating those small wins to keep the motivation going.
