Whiskey and Spirit Tasting rooms have become as popular as beer tasting in Northern Colorado and other states, as more and more distilleries pop up. Here are two distilleries in Loveland CO, for your tasting enjoyment. The Springs44 and Big Fat Pastor Spirit. Each has a unique twist to their brand.
Spring44
The
Springs44 was established in 2017. Their claim to fame is their water. Since 60% of whiskey is water, they think that it plays a huge part in the quality of their product. The water they use comes from a Rocky Mountain Mineral Spring, located high in the Colorado Rockies. They don't adulterate their water other than filter out particles.
Spring44 produces Vodka, Honey Vodka, Gin, and fortified Bitter Liqueur
You can find these types beverages at: Spring44 Distilling at 505 W 66th, Loveland CO
Big Fat Pastor Spirit
The
Big Fat Pastor Spirit Distillery is all about community spirit. This is a family business owned by a Pastor and his family. The Pastor has been brewing spirits and wine for 20 years. Since community is part of his persona, he brought his love of community and hobby together in one. They are a small distillery "with a Big Fat Flavor"
They produce two types of Genisis Gin's, Vodka, Bourbon Whiskey, and Malt Whiskey.
