May 2026

Building

We’re putting the final touches on the Small Tasting Room. Derek built the bar, installed the window to the Production Space, cut custom thresholds, and has trimmed everything out. Katrina stained, oiled, spar varnished, and did some touch up paint. Other inside updates include the employee bathroom and a fully functional mechanical room (including internet). Outside, on the downtown-facing side of the building, locals will notice a row of outdoor lights – soon they’ll be lighting up our sign.

Business / Community

From the list above, you can see we’re close to opening the Small Tasting Room. Before that, we have some final steps – deep cleaning, setting up the machines, plugging in the refrigerators, hanging our health permit. Locals, stop in when you see the Open sign lit up this month. Hours will be posted in the window. We’ll keep mostly evening hours so that Derek can use his days finishing the Production Space.

Distillery

Until we’re ready to make spirits, we’ll be open for just non-alcoholic drinks. We’ll have ginger beer on tap, of course. Slushie flavors in June will include Orange Dreamsicle, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Coconut Lime. We’ll also have shrubs – stop by the tasting room or look online for what’s in stock. Each of these will be delicious on their own, but also tasty as a mixer in an evening sipper. Cheers to the summer ahead!
