10-15-15 Double Bluff Brewing Co. – Another new Langley business fills a niche and achieves a vision

One of my major themes for having a successful business is the value of creating a business that fills a niche, something that is wanted but hasn’t been available before.

Daniel and Marissa Thomis just opened Double Bluff Brewing Co. in Langley.  Besides getting into a business that had been his hobby for 19 years, Daniel did the research and learned that there was no brewery/tap shop in Langley.

While being educated as a scientist set him up for jobs in the corporate world, Daniel had dreamed for several years of opening a craft brewery.

Another part of the dream for Daniel and Marissa was to move back to the West Coast (they had met in California) after living in Boston for 20 years.

I wrote the story of Double Bluff Brewing Company for the Business Spotlight on Whidbey Local that was published a few days ago.

Whidbey and Langley provided the answers for Daniel and Marissa about where to live and where to establish a brew pub, and the vision was attained and a niche was filled.
