April Discount Codes — 20% Van Brunt Stillhouse Gone Soon!

In the heart of Red Hook, Brooklyn, is the New York State Farm Distillery Van Brunt Stillhouse. They take their state farm license class seriously and view themselves as an extension of Thor Oeschner's organic farm near Ithaca, the primary source of their grain, despite the irony of a farm distillery in a big city.

The links to American tradition of distilling have been severed by the industrial revolution of the 19th century, prohibition in the 20th century, and "Modern market forces. Their master distiller, Daric, didn't learn to distill with his grandfather as a child, and he didn't start working in the distillery as a teenager by pushing a broom.
