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.

If you're lucky enough to get a few minutes to chat with him, you'll see exactly what I mean. The whisky is outstanding and must be tried. This distillery is a combination of Ernie and Mark hard work and dedication as well as Ernie personally lobbying the State of Ohio to allow these products to flow. I can't say enough good about this place and the great Americans running it.

My wife and I stopped in while visiting family in Elmore. Ernest was great to talk to and gave us…read morea nice tour of their distilling process. These are really good rye whiskeys. The old homicide is one of the better craft rye whiskeys that I have ever had. This place is a must if you are in the Elmore area and like whiskey.

While we were there, a family pulled in asking for help. Their boat trailer had somehow detached from their vehicle and was laying, tilted forward on the pavement. The folks from MBW saved their day, offering their time and a tractor fitted with lift forks. Definitely worth a leisurely drop in. My favorite was the Belgian White.

In fact, after my visit, I think I actually appreciate its rough appearance. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was entering "the real deal" of craft; nothing fancy - just quality. In addition to his beers, he also makes his own spirits and the whiskey was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a huge whiskey guy so I'm sure a "snobby" person may have a different opinion but it's most definitely worth a shot during your visit. The owner, who was working behind the bar, was extremely personable and seemed to make quick friends with every guest that came in. You could tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft. I will be back and will make sure I bring others with me to experience this hidden gem.

It's cozy and quaint with a nice outside patio area and live music. Dogs are welcomed outside. Food truck of island noodles was outside which was amazing! They also allow food from outside vendors to enjoy while you drink. As for the drinks, they are really awesome! The hoyts gin is my favorite and made locally. Definitely make time to check out this spot. It's fairly new but so worth it! People are great, the drinks are amazing and the vibe is everything!

Highly recommend swinging for a drink if your in the area!

We rented the upstairs area as well as the back of the distillery for a sit down dinner. The space was really perfect! They made signs for our guests for 'bride and groom drinks' as well as a decorated sign directing the guests upstairs. We had so many compliments from our guests. The bartenders were super helpful. Honestly, we could not have been happier. After dinner several guests shot pool and played darts. Such a pleasure to work with.
