| [Sadieville, KY.] — Country Boy Brewing, one of the best-known breweries in the heart of central Kentucky, begins a new era this fall with the founding of Country Boy Distilling. Renovating a 1,300 square foot facility in Sadieville, KY, Country Boy will be distilling Vodka, Gin, and Apple Brandy when the doors open this fall. The location previously housed Hi-View Meats & Groceries, a long-time and popular butcher in northern Scott County located at 6325 Cincinnati Road. “This place is close to my heart, I grew up stopping there every week,” said Daniel “DH” Harrison, Founder and Brand Manager at Country Boy Brewing. “Being able to plant our distillation roots in Sadieville means a lot to the family that is Country Boy Brewing.” The new space will be the first production distillery in Scott County, Kentucky since the repeal of Prohibition. It will offer a visitor experience to see the distillation process, a small bar to taste signature cocktails and sip on some Country Boy beer. “We are excited to offer tours of our small distillery to locals and tourists alike,” said Pete Weiss, Marketing Director for Country Boy Brewing. “The small tasting room on site will offer a unique experience for first time guests as well as long time Country Boy fans.” “We worked with Vendome to create a custom 100 gallon still,” said Tyler Gomez, Director of Distillation for Country Boy Brewing. “This has been two years in the making, and we are all really excited to see that first batch in the bottle.” Opening this Fall, Country Boy Distilling plans on being members of the Kentucky Distillers Association with high hopes of garnering a legendary placement on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The new distillery and visitor experience will share construction updates on social media at @countryboydistilling. To learn more, visit www.countryboybrewing.com. -END- |
