They distill several spirits and sell them by the bottle for purchase. They ONLY serve the Bloody Mary's on Sunday. It is a welcoming place with staff that enjoys what they do.

The inside space is small but inviting and they have outdoor seating for nice days. I tried the Cucumber Basil Gimlet and it was so refreshing. Definitely the best cucumber cocktail I've ever tried and it really sold me on their summer gin! She got the Winter King which was also tasty and featured their winter gin. You can buy the bottles to go and they would make great gifts. The Jalapeño Pants was a really tasty spicy cocktail with a flavorful tahin/salt rim and featuring their fall gin. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled at making their craft cocktails.

Or be here at a normal time for normal reasons, haha. Cocktails are always decent, though maybe a bit overwrought and on the sweet side. Can't say I can always taste all the ingredients they put in. Sometimes simple can be best. The N/A watermelon spritz I had didn't have much flavor. Could have used less spritz, I guess. Today specifically we came for the Tacos El Panda truck; they have great birria and we fancied a cocktail as well. In the past we also enjoyed the Juicy Oyster truck.

It's a very inconspicuous location, squeezed in between two truck depots. The building looks--inside and out--like it could be someone's workshop. At least if someone hung cool original art on their workshop's walls and set up a pool table. When we stood in front of the bar looking at the draft menu, a couple sitting nearby offered to scooch down so we could get barstools. Friendly folks=good start. We tried samples of a black IPA and rye IPA. Both were good, but we went with the rye for a pint. Nice and hoppy with just a little sharpness, good body. Had a bit of a drive in front of us, so we got a crowler of the black to go. Interesting beer selection, with two strong Scottish ales and many IPA variants. Plus alcoholic fruit slushees if that's your thing. We're mulling a run to Jackson purposefully to sample more of their offerings.

Great beer choices. IPAs, Vanilla Porters, Hefeweizens and other beer choices were on tap. I had…read morethe porter and the Hefeweizen. Liked both. Also had two seltzer slushes available. They had music bingo that night. I sat at the bar and watched some football and read some. They offer snacks for $1 (peanuts, pretzels, popcorn and more). They encourage you to bring in food which I like since that lets them focus on the beer. Bar tender was ready for me and served well.

Detroit native Nicole Curtis would be truly proud of this owner and venue. Though there is still some work being done mostly outside it will be a beautiful venue for small weddings or corporate retreats. My coworker goes away with friends every January/February to Deep Creek, Maryland but in 2016 this will be the new place after our recent stay. And a quick shout out to Cyndi who we worked with on the reservation; she was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel truly welcomed. She's a beautiful burst of energy who is more than willing to provide some highlights of the area. Looking forward to staying here next year!!

The owners are incredibly communicative, and they are in the building during the event. They stopped by a couple times to take care of the garbage and check in.

I did not have any food, but they have a menu of fancy items like poke bowls.
