Great Blue Spirits

Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Aged 8 Years • 100 Proof
We’re so excited to finally share this news with you. We have one more thing to announce this year: our brand new line of spirits we’re calling Great Blue, named after the Great Blue Heron. Our spirits bring the same uncompromising commitment to quality that has defined our brewing heritage for decades.
What better way to introduce Great Blue Spirits than with our first bourbon.
Our straight bourbon whiskey has been meticulously aged for 8 years and finished in our own backyard. The result is a smooth, sippable spirit with notes of vanilla and oak you’ll remember long after the glass is empty.

Sustainably and consciously
How we make delicious brews matters just as much as their distinctive taste. That’s why we craft ales and lagers straight from earth to sky. Bubbling tanks to aging barrels and our brewery taprooms, our beers are sustainably crafted using solar heat and water conservation techniques.
Time well spent
Sharing a meal with friends and family. Celebrating hard-fought wins. Or just appreciating some well-deserved downtime. Planning and making the most of these moments takes thought. Enjoy it with a beer crafted the same way. It’s time well spent.
