Detroit Michigan Distillery
Located in Detroit Speakeasy, Detroit City Distilling creates small-batch artisan whiskey, gin and vodka with local ingredients sourced directly from farms near its distillery and tasting room. The company also produces bourbon, rye, and vodka for sale and distribution to bars and restaurants across the region.
The story of this spirited family business began when a group of childhood friends concocted an idea to start a distillery during a campfire a few years after college graduation. Jerome, the chief scientist for the operation, has always been deeply connected to the science behind what he does, and has been fascinated by the art of distilling.
Exploring Weiss Distilling Co.: A Haven for Spirit Connoisseurs
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the company retooled its manufacturing facility in just 72 hours to begin producing large quantities of hand sanitizer for the region’s health care institutions and other frontline businesses. With the help of Pure Michigan Business Connect’s COVID-19 Procurement Platform, the team was able to get critical supplies into the hands of frontline workers much sooner than they would have otherwise been able to.
The company’s commitment to its community is reflected in its seasonal menus, which are designed around a different theme each month. With summer rum currently on tap, the bar room has been transformed into a jungle-themed space with flora and fauna throughout, plus branded elephant cocktail glasses and staff safari hats. In addition, the staff is showcasing their ability to creatively craft cocktails on-theme, like the Macaw Runner (a rum-and-fruit shot served in an adorable parrot shooter). The bar will be open through Labor Day.
