I will be opening the distillery starting July 9th. We are located at 212 N Hwy 101 in Rockaway Beach (across from the post office) and our hours will be 11am to 7pm Thursday through Sunday. I have a few small things to take care of and I am looking forward to seeing you.

It has been a while since I posted on the progress of the distillery. I am hoping to be open soon. The state has implemented new guide lines a few years a go for wineries and distilleries. I had to put in a fire detection system through the entire building, not just my business but my neighbors also. I have a little bit of mechanical to complete and an electrician to wire in the fire detection system. Then to get all the final inspections taken care of. It has taken 15 months to complete this process and frankly, I get why people do not look forward to puting in a business these days. All the people involved, the paper work and regulations has been insane. Lets get this open and have some fun and taste some spirits. Hope to see you all soon!!
