Arbor Brewing Beer and Nachos Pairing

Long Road Distillers held it’s grand opening to the public on Thursday, May 28th at 5 PM. The distillery is located at 537 Leonard St NW in Grand Rapids with The Mitten Brewing Co. as their neighbor and the also the recently opened Two Scotts Barbecue across the street. The distillery is a true “grain-to-glass” operation with everything milled, mashed, fermented, and distilled in-house. Their handcrafted vodka, gin, and whisky is sourced with as locally available ingredients as possible. The tasting room features a full cocktail menu of speciality drinks with Long Road’s spirits as a base and also features a kitchen with salad, and sandwich options.

A group of us were excited to try out the first distillery in Lansing. With my freshly turned 21 year old son and his girlfriend Megan, a group of us introduced them to the wonderful world of the cocktail at the newly opened American Fifth Spirits.
