Midwest Spirits Festival

media release: Everyone knows that the upper Midwest has some of the best grain in the world, so it stands to reason that we should have the best spirits as well. Join us as we welcome some of our favorite producers from the Great Lakes Region for Madison's first celebration of Midwest spirits.

From Heirloom corn for Bourbon, to locally foraged gin botanicals, to single-varietal estate grown Rye, some of the most exciting spirits are in our own backyard.

You'll have a chance to meet several producers who will guide you through their latest offerings and give you a glimpse into what's happening in the craft spirits world. And, of course, you'll be able to taste well over 50 spirits crafted throughout the Midwest.
