Grain to Glass Tasting Experience On Sale Now!
How it all started
Once upon a time... long, long ago
…at a kitchen table in Birmingham, an idea was born.
Four friends, with an enthusiasm for whisky & whiskey, beer & TimTams (google it, but yes, penguins are better!), chatting & drinking until the wee hours of the morning, wondering why the UK's second city didn't have its own distillery.
All the friends could do was share more snacks, share more whiskey, gossip & share ideas about whiskey, until one of them said "let's make whiskey".
So just like that, oh and after a lot of research AND you tube videos AND filling in one million application forms AND tasting lots of whiskey AND lets throw in a global pandemic too...... What seemed like an impossible pipe dream started to come true...
Now, less than 50m from that kitchen table, Spirit of Birmingham, Birmingham's very own distillery, is in production! Go to our shop to purchase our signature Dark Beer, Single Pot Still Vodka and our Grain to Glass Tasting Experience.
