A moment in the making! The first run off our copper still in Valpo is officially underway. Just like when we first fired up the still in Three Oaks, it’s only fitting that this first spirit is Last Feather Rye—a nod to where it all began. This moment is more than just a milestone; it’s a celebration of craft, tradition, and the journey we’ve shared with all of you. As we raise a glass to this occasion, we’re toasting to all of you, to one year in Valpo, and to the many more years (and spirits) to come.

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Venue Sales Certificate Program from Meeting Professionals International Academy!

We’re thrilled to unveil our 6th release from the Sea of Monsters: Re-Animator Coffee Porter – our very first dark beer! This classic English-style porter is infused with a bold dose of house-brewed Honduran natural coffee, roasted to perfection by our friends at Yaggy Road Roasting Company. Featuring a blend of pale, chocolate, biscuit, and caramel malts, this brew captures the essence of a rich, satisfying porter, while the locally-roasted Honduran coffee adds an invigorating kick. Inspired by the 1980s horror classic Re-Animator, which tells the chilling tale of a medical student who discovers a compound that can bring the dead back to life, this beer offers a unique twist on both brewing and storytelling. Please note: Re-Animator Coffee Porter is caffeinated – ideal for those who enjoy their coffee with a kick! 

We are excited to announce the addition of Jon Fuentes as Journeyman’s Executive Sous Chef in Three Oaks! Jon comes to us from Florida bringing 20+ years of culinary leadership! In his role, Jon will be leading the Team in Three Oaks! Please join us in welcoming Jon aboard!
