🌟Distiller Spotlight: Iron Fish Distillery 🌟

"Iron Fish Distillery was founded in 2016, as Michigan’s first farm distillery growing grain and distilling spirits, and barrel finishing sourced whiskey. Located along the Betsie River watershed, home of the Steelhead. This MAEAP certified working farm and distillery attracts over 100,000 guests annually to the agricultural destination, reborn on a long-time abandoned 120-acre farm located in rural Springdale Township in Manistee County.

Every step of our soil-to-spirit process, starting in our farm fields where we grow and harvest our own grain to milling, mashing, fermenting and distilling and barrel aging occurs on site. Iron Fish also sources bourbon for finishing in barrels from around the world. To date, our library of barrel aged spirits exceeds 2,400 barrels, consisting of carefully sourced farm barrel finished whiskies and estate whiskies distilled from grain grown on our farm and from nearby farms."

🥃 Have a drink of Iron Fish Sept. 11-13 in Monroe, MI!

🌟Distiller Spotlight: Gypsy Spirits 🌟

"After college, brothers Michael and Adam set out to Breckenridge, Colorado, in search of a new perspective, realizing that a conventional career path just wasn't their calling. There, they crossed paths with a master distiller whose passion for crafting spirits ignited a spark within them. Inspired by his dedication, they immersed themselves in the art of distilling-and from that journey, Gypsy Vodka was born.

Gypsy Spirits was created with more than just spirits in mind; it was built as a brand for the young at heart, for the free-spirited adventurers, and for anyone who lives life on their own terms. The name "Gypsy" embodies a lifestyle defined by freedom, exploration, and authenticity, a nod to the founders' belief that life is best lived when charting your own path.

The road to success was far from easy. The brothers spent countless nights living out of a van, working odd jobs, and seeking out investors who shared their vision. With determination and grit, Gypsy Spirits has been built into a company which now boasts three tasting rooms, eleven unique spirits, and seven canned cocktails. With distribution spanning Michigan and, recently, Illinois, Gypsy Spirits is proud to share its passion with a wider community."

🌟Distiller Spotlight: Grand Traverse Distillery 🌟

"Early French Explorers called it "La Grande Travers." The Great crossing. A big piece of water, carved from mile-thick glaciers. Grand Traverse Distillery is a celebration of this. Water, after all, is at the heart of our spirits. Sifted down through dark, rich, Northern Michigan soil and gathering precious minerals that mix perfectly with locally sourced corn and grain.

Crafted by hand, then aged, distilled, and bottled under our own roof (and watchful eye). No short cuts. It's a journey of months and years. One that culminates in a single sip that makes the moment grand."

Experience the taste of Grand Traverse Distillery in Monroe, MI Sept. 11-13! 🥃
