John Wohlfert: Wohlfert Craft Distilling Born From an Explosion on The Third Floor?
John Wohlfert is our guest for this episode.
John and his wife Karen have an interesting history with alcohol. John’s great grandfather may or may not have blown up part of his home “brewing beer”. You need to hear all of the story. Karen’s grandmother was known for her Bathtub Gin. Indeed, they had outlaws in the Family.
We learn how the Wohlferts navigated many challenges to open Wohlfert Craft Distilling. County, State, and Federal regulations can be daunting and in this case they indeed where. They continued moving forward and in 2021 they were able to open the doors.
The products are names after motorcycle parts.
- Headlight: Vodka
- Clutch: Coffee Liqueur
- Starter: Sugar Shine
- Spark: Basil Flavored Vodka
- Torque: Apple Liqueur
Wohlfert Craft Distilling has already won awards for their products and continue to develop new items to bring to the market.
