Detroit Michigan Distillery
Located at the site of the former Goebel Brewery and Michigan Distillery Ice Cream, Detroit Michigan Distillery is a reminder of the city’s illustrious brewing history. The modern two-story distillery is home to small-batch artisanal whiskeys, gins and vodkas that use ingredients from local farms. The Whiskey Factory also offers tastings and tours, as well as a premier event space for weddings and corporate events.
Founded by eight childhood friends, the Detroit City Distillery is a perfect example of the entrepreneurial spirit that is so prevalent in this city and state. The distillery is one of the 78 craft distilleries in Michigan, which has seen a boom in spirits production since prohibition ended during the roaring 20’s. Local outfits like Valentine, Two James, and Ann Arbor Distillery are producing quality, top-notch spirits that rival the name brands your dad used to drink.
In addition to their acclaimed spirits, Detroit City also produces hand sanitizer. The company has distributed more than 21,000 gallons of the product to hospitals, universities and municipalities. It’s a move that is a reflection of the community they serve and the values they hold dear.
Discover the Spirit of Detroit: A Tour of Weiss Distilling Co.
A definite hot spot in Detroit, Weiss Distilling Co is a speakeasy that does things right. It’s a fun, immersive experience that changes every few months, based on a new theme. For example, during Weiss in the Wild, guests are transported to the jungle. Branches hang from the ceiling of the dark, wood-paneled room, and animal noises echo throughout the building. The cocktail menu is full of inventive libations made with Weiss’ high-end, additive-free spirits. Try the Grow a Girlfriend, a gin cocktail with elderflower liqueur, cucumber, honey and lemon juice or The Real Macaw, a rum-and-fruit shot that comes in an adorable parrot shooter.
