Detroit Michigan Distillery – Revolutionaries of Distinction
In the roaring twenties, eight childhood friends started a distillery to make whiskey the old fashion way. Today, Detroit City Distillery creates small batch artisanal whiskey, gin and vodka from the finest local ingredients sourced directly from farms near their historic distillery and tasting room in Eastern Market. They are spirits of distinction for the revolutionaries rewriting the history of this great American city. Weiss Distilling Co.
Walking through the front door of the distillery, the smell of grain and gleam of copper stills immerses guests in the heritage of this 5,000 square foot historical event space. The room has a industrial yet refined feel that can accommodate 200 guests for dinner or 250 to stroll through the rickhouse.
A Journey Through Detroit’s Spirit Scene: Weiss Distilling Co.
The Whiskey Factory’s distinguished history as the site of Goebel Brewery and Stroh’s Ice Cream lends a feeling of tradition to this urban two story distillery and tasting room. Detroit City Distillery is the first business to operate in the building since its dormancy in the early 1930’s.
During the COVID-19 crisis, Detroit City quickly took steps to be able to produce large amounts of hand sanitizer. Knowing that health care institutions and other critical organizations across the state were experiencing critical deficits in personal protective equipment (PPE), the team at Detroit City reached out to Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC). Through the PMBC’s COVID-19 Procurement Platform, Detroit City Distillery was able to deliver tens of thousands of gallons of their sanitizer directly to the agencies and frontline workers in need.
