Distillery opens to the public
FORTVILLE – Moon Drops Distillery had its grand opening of the new distillery and tasting room Dec. 8.
The business is open at 738 W. Broadway St., Fortville. Hours are 4-9 p.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Moon Drops has a grain-to-glass process that begins and ends with local business sustainability, according to a press release. They use locally-sourced ingredients that pay homage to Indiana roots. Grain from a neighboring county is milled and distilled onsite in a 14-foot copper still named Big Momma. The stillage is repurposed, reduced to dehydrated feed and donated back to a local cattle farm.
