    A great experience overall in a surprisingly cool setting. Don was great at explaining the distilling process and answering everyone's questions. Mitchell did a great job for his 2nd day conducting the tasting. We walked out with a few bottles of Lake Placid aged Rum as well as a Lemon Vidka and some cool merchandise. Support these small businesses, this past year has been tough on them!

    Cool spot to spend the afternoon. The tour was very informative and our guide/owner Don was great! The spirits they make are very good and I had to have the Lemon Vodka on the rocks after the tour. Super refreshing!

    Really fun detour enroute to a winery in the area. Mitchel was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tasting. The owner was very friendly and personable as well. We enjoyed ourselves and would return when in the area.

    My favorite was the "Apple Shine" and Spiced Rum but the Gin was also transcendent.

    **INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Initially, I found Frazier Creek Brewing and Distilling (which I will shorthand simply to Frazier Creek for the remainder of this review) through my adventuring, specifically the Treasure Coast Wine, Ale & Spirits Trail. Though not the first brewery in Martin County, it is the first "brewstillery" in which it serves as both a brewery and distillery. Wanting to check in at another location on the aforementioned trail, I have to say this place is pretty good, but since I went early afternoon (I work 3rd shift at the time), it isn't exactly the most active place to be at. And to be fair, the same goes for the other brewery I went to at this time (Ocean Republic). Ergo, this initial review will be based on a visit between noontime and 3 p.m. In short, too early to be at a brewery, but the only time I could go because of my working shift. Though an address is provided, Frazier Creek is located in Mayfair Plaza on US-1 (Federal Hwy.). If it helps, it is the business that seems to have a "watchtower" rising up from its entrance like a sentinal. Upon entering, you're greeted to a nice open space that hints this place was probably an extreme sporting goods vendor or business in its past. Why I say that? Because of all the decks on the wall used to highlight Frazier Creek's drink menu. I sat at the bar which was optimally observed by the cute bartender, and I understand why it was minimal as it was, as aforementioned, "too early to be in a brewery" and there were like only one or two more patrons inside besides me. Nevertheless, the bartender was attentive and gave me drinks based on how I was feeling at the time as well as the fact it was still early afternoon. So for me, lighter beers. I would not drink a heavy stout or IPA this "early" in the day. What I did have were three drinks they always have on tap, two alcoholic so I had them in 4 oz. tasters and one that was non-alcoholic so I had a regular 8 oz. glass. Must stress I was hitting up the locales in the Treasure Coast Wine, Spirit & Ale trail in Martin County so I can't get all happy at ONE location, right? I had the Stuart Shandy and Zero Gravity Sour in the 4 oz. tasters. The former had more of the grapefruit flavor over the lemonade flavor, but it was delightfully sour. As for the latter, I enjoyed that one more because I prefer oranges as my citrus of choice. And to "fill in the gap" without having too much alcohol since I would be drinking mead next (Hani Honey Co.), I had their root beer, too. That was good too, but I am more of a cream soda kind of guy, and since sugar is in everything, I have a thing for Olipop, Virgil's, and Poppi flavors. So far, not one brewery has made a sugar free root beer (yet). As for the last part of food and drink, there was no formal food menu I saw, but they did have either a collaboration or something "in house" outside of the actual brewery and distillery was served for food: fish dip. There were two versions I got, and I ate one with Ritz crackers at the bar. Fantastic. Definitely home made and independent given the price point, but I am more than willing to pay to help support it. As for the other dip, it was good too once I opened and finished it back home. On a sidenote, the restrooms - at least the men's restroom - was decently clean and stocked. Nothing out of the norm. Given the fact I showed up during a time I don't expect the full service and experience Frazier Creek has to offer, I can only rate my visit(s) for what they offer at the time I went which is three out of five stars. Now I must stress that is actually not bad as they hit all the main points on serving a customer during a time when they are "down" and "slow." I don't expect them, or any brewery/distillery/meadery/etc. to bend over backwards for me when I show up at 1 p.m. on a weekday. But I will also say that for many places, doing just the basics is a chore during that time, so the fact Frazier Creek did, I applaud you all. Now that I am working a normal schedule, I can truly come by during your peak hours and see what Frazier Creek has to offer. I did see they were preparing for a cornhole tournament when I left, and I would have loved to stay to smash the competition, but a las, responsibilities over pleasure when in the midst of a workweek. If Frazier Creek is consistent with what they provided during the early afternoon, plus whatever they do during their peak hours, I'll definitely update this review.

    Plenty of space to bring family and friends.  The drive from Tampa was worth it.   Lots of beers and spirits to try.

    I loved the atmosphere and the drinks! It was terrific to enjoy a fairly priced, well-made drink…read moreafter too many disappointing overly sweet dive bar drinks. The hard part was deciding which cocktail to try! I also tried a sample of their spicy agave and it was fantastic! I am bringing my daughter and SIL back for a spicy margarita next time! The atmosphere was bougie but comfortable - exactly how I like it. Service was also very friendly!!!

    **INITIAL REVIEW**…read more 21st Amendement Distillery is one of two distilleries operating in Vero Beach, and the "younger" of the two, too. Located within the heart of Historic Downtown Vero Beach, it is a fine place to visit if you want to enjoy a cocktail on the rocks. My good friend Patrick and I hit this place up, and I will say, it is defintely a distillery I would love to come back to. Maybe enjoy a nice cigar with my scotch bourbon. Though an address is provided, 21st Amendment Distillery (which I will shorthand to 21st for the remainder of this review) is located on a "minor road" that seems to run one end at the Indian River Chamber of Commerce all the way to American Icon Brewery. The parking situation includes street parking along 13th Avenue. Take note only the west side of the street has angled pull-in parking, while the east side of the street are parallel parking spots. There are some dedicated parking lots and even a parking garage but they are a couple of blocks away. Decor-wise, the outdoor seating arangement fits with the modern style Downtown Vero Beach is aiming for, but inside is an amazing mix of today's modern aesthetic without being overly modern and throwback to the 1920s and 1930s. Why? Because between 1920 to 1933, the United States had prohibition. It wasn't until 1933 the 21st Amendment repelled prohibition thus legalizing alcohol. And now you know why 21st is known as it is. Back to decor, 21st uses a lot of mahogany and wood (or at least it looks like it) furniture along with leather seating. There is a small outcrop of a stage for performers to entertain guests who come in and enjoy a glass of spirits. The bar looks like something out of a old Chicago mystery flick, and there is an area of lounge chairs reminiscent of a smoking room. Remember I said I would smoke a cigar here with my drink? Apparently, 21st has a fine selection of cigars. I did not see any of the patrons smoking any there, but I am sure if they provide it, it would be an option. As for my drink, I was suggested by our beautiful waitress, Brittany, to get the Night Shift as an hommage to the fact I've been working night shift for way too long and need to go back on days. It is an agave spirit with bourbon cream and vanilla. Needless to say, it was delicious... and STRONG! Got Patrick a latte in which they decored the foam in the classic leaf often seen as coffee art. We also split their version of a charcuterie board. Now pricewise, the food and spirits were a little high, but I consider that more of a testament on the standing 21st has over the other alcoholic places within the area or even the city. Side notes: the men's restroom was clean and stocked, but it is a single-server. Take that into account if 21st happens to be full to the gills with patrons. Also, 21st is one of the businesses featured in the Treasure Coast Wine, Ale, and Spirits Trail. If you want to partake on an adventure seeking out the Treasure Coast's best breweries, distilleries, and other alcohol-related locations, check this trail out. Ultimately, 21st was an excellent place to enjoy a mixed drink with or without a cigar, by yourself or with friends, while listening to local acts perfect their craft. And to be fair, this is a local distillery and not an extension or branch, ergo, 21st gets my highest rating for an initial review, four out of five stars. If 21st remains consistent with their service, their drinks, their food, and the atmosphere they provide, I will then grant them their fifth star for consistency.

I had stayed in the car for a few minutes before joining John inside and the Christina had ALL of them lined up- there were so many bottles. So.... the only time I left buzzed from samples. Gin, Rum, Whiskey, Vodka, Tequila, Liquors. They had damn near everything here. Plus craft cocktails and a couple cocktails on tap. I mean- wow. Favs: Pandemic at the disco- I think the smoothest Vodka I have EVER had and the name and bottle are was hilariously fun Demeter- a citrus-botanical gin which I loved at first sip and that was before I knew it was named after a Greek Goddess Smoked- They have 2 flavors of smoked Rum, both Mesquite and Hickory- I liked the mesquite better and this was John's favorite Sprit of the Harvest- Classic Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey, another very smooth liquor- Rye whiskey can sometimes be a little harsh- but not this one Those are the ones we bought. Special mention: Underworld- Agave Spirit (Tequila)- I don't care for Tequila, the only time I enjoyed samples was in Mexico and now this place. It was delicious Lost Cause- holy hell. That's all I am going to say about that Did I mention- I didn't even try them all!?!?! They make some IPA blend Whiskeys and collaborate with local breweries. Their stills were inspiring- I can't remember how tall their big ole still was, but it was awesome!

Everything offered on their drink menu is made on site with the exception of 3 drinks. They offer 4 different fights ($18-$25 for 4 drinks). They offer classic cocktails, craft cocktails, and their distillery spirits. Not a drinker (you're in the wrong place, ha!), no problem, as they have non alcohol beverages / mixers as well as Mocktails! I ordered their Florida Gold Rum ($12.00). It's a rum that's aged 5 years in bourbon barrels and finished in a sherry cask barrel. It's balanced with notes of raisins, cooked bananas, caramelized fruit, along with oak derived vanilla.
