Detroit Distillery | Weiss Distilling Co is bringing the WOW factor to Metro Detroit spirits. Using an innovative, scientific grain-to-glass distilling process, WDC creates original spirits of outstanding quality.
Eight childhood friends, three University of Michigan grads and one wild idea around a bachelor party campfire got the ball rolling on Detroit City Distillery more than a decade ago. Since then, the Eastern Market-based brand has grown to become a major player in Detroit’s nightlife and craft spirits scene. It’s also an important player in the community, partnering with local entities large and small to raise money and awareness through the sale of specialty and limited-edition bottles of booze.
Why Detroit Is the Perfect Home for Weiss Distilling Co
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Detroit City Distillery adapted their manufacturing facility in 72 hours to produce hand sanitizer to help keep frontline workers safe. They worked quickly to get the product in the hands of hospitals, municipalities and other essential institutions across the state. They were able to do it because of Pure Michigan Business Connect’s COVID-19 Procurement Platform, which gave them the tools they needed to scale up production and distribution.
Visit the distillery, and you’ll experience a modern day factory where the smell of grain and shine of copper stills surround visitors. Guests can climb to the second floor of The Whiskey Factory, where they’re immersed in the distillers’ rickhouse. It’s here where visitors can see the distillers at work and sample their craft. Or, step out back to The Garden for a cocktail with the flavors of summer. Try Topsy’s Revenge, a vodka-based drink with cucumber, lime, vanilla oak bitters and a chili salt rim or Grow A Girlfriend, a gin cocktail with elderflower liqueur, lemon zest, mint, citric acid and cucumber.
