The Weiss Distilling Co. Experience
A visit to the 5,000-square-foot historical event space at 1000 Maple is an experience in the alchemy of distilling. Walk in the front door and the smell of grain and sounds of copper stills reverberate, immersing you in a modern day distillery. Originally home to Goebel Brewery and Stroh’s Ice Cream, this building exemplifies Detroit’s distinguished legacy of alcohol production.
Michigan Spirits has added to its portfolio with a flavored whiskey called Two Faced Blended Straight Bourbon. The new spirit combines 50% of Kentucky wheated bourbon from the region’s bourbon farms with Detroit City Distillery rye and other Michigan grains sourced from local farmers. The bourbon will be released at a party on Aug. 23 at the distillery’s tasting room in Eastern Market.
From Detroit with Love: Weiss Distilling Co.’s Unique Flavors
Topsy’s Revenge – This tequila-free cocktail has the fruitiness you expect from a summer drink but is balanced by sultry vanilla oak bitters. Served in a literal elephant glass, the drinks is a cute addition to the menu.
Weiss-A-Rita – This moonshine drink is based on a margarita, but made with moonshine. The result is tangy and refreshing, with tasty chili-salt on the rim for an extra crunch.
The Weiss-A-Rita is another example of the distillery’s ability to balance sophisticated cocktails with fun theme details, such as the branded elephant cocktail glasses and staff safari hats. The distillery also has a knack for creating seasonal menus and decorations. Following its spooky, sultry Halloween makeover, the bar is currently transforming into a grown-up winter wonderland with snowy walls, snow-dusted trees and fur pelts.
