Craft Spirits - Shaking up Local Flavor

​"It all begins here," stated co-owner Brandon Voorhees of Gray Skies Distillery as he cupped a handful of grain during our tour of the facility located at 700 Ottawa in the North Monroe Neighborhood.  Using quality grains and products, locally sourced whenever possible, their small-batch distillery is pumping out some of the best craft spirits in town.  We visited for a sneak peak of their newest line up (Michigan Single Malt Whiskey & Apple Brandy) but we walked away with so much more; a newfound appreciation for the distillation process and their intoxicating passion for what they do... no pun intended. Seriously, these dudes are cool!  ​Distilling their spirits in house, "grain to glass," gives Gray Skies the true designation of a craft spirit distillery.

From fermentation to distillation you witness the process as soon as you walk in the doors with large glass windows overlooking the production area. Transparency in their process creates a platform for conversation, allowing open lines of communication and education with their customers about what is behind the production of a true craft spirit.  Along with the authentic admiration these guys have for their products and the process, the personal connections and education they offer creates the type of atmosphere that the Grand Rapids community prides itself upon - friendly, local, outstanding quality. 

Gray Skies is trailblazing the newest trend in adult beverages - creating craft spirits! With traditional methods, and a touch of innovation, they are producing flavor forward spirits from quality grains you can actually taste. Their Barrel Finished Hopped Gin is a perfect example of their unique twist on an old classic tipping its hat to the well established craft beer scene in Grand Rapids. Proudly showing that their spirits are offering something tasty and new, but also standing up to many well known, national, brands. Gray Skies is the perfect spot in Grand Rapids for a unique tasting experience.  Learn more @ www.grayskiesdistillery.com

Grand Rapids may be known as Beer City, but we are also pouring some of the best organic smoothies and juices around! Across the nation the demand for healthier food and beverage alternatives had spiked in the recent years. Sip Organic Juice Bar was created by a Michigan native living in our area who saw this demand in Grand Rapids as people were actively seeking products and services related to healthy living & clean eating.

They are committed to using local ingredients whenever possible and always use 100% organic produce.

    Welcome!

    One of my passions besides real estate is exploring our beautiful city spaces, supporting our small businesses and advocating for our local organizations.

    I believe that sharing about our city via social media is one way to help connect people to it and hopefully bring more of them to GR's spaces, places, and causes. Together we create a stronger and more vibrant community for everyone to enjoy.

    Join me in this adventure! 

    Cheers.

    Tara
