Damnation Alley Distillery Information

Damnation Alley Distillery, LLC was established in 2011 by Alison DeWolfe, Jeremy Gotsch, Jessica Gotsch, Alex Thurston and Emma Thurston. The idea for the distillery started years earlier, however. Having been an avid home brewer for close to a decade, Alex's interest moved toward distilling. When he ran out of books to read, he decided to take a class with Dr. Kris Berglund at Christian CARL Distilling School held at Michigan Brewing Company in conjunction with Michigan State. Upon his return, Alex discussed with his wife, Emma and they decided to seriously start developing the idea for the distillery. The idea was a daunting one but Alex and Emma thought to enlist some co-conspiritors. So, after dozens of late night discussions, Emma's sister, Jessica and her husband, Jeremy decided to join the cause. Friend, Alison DeWolfe also joined on, the brainstorming started and the plan to start small was hatched. When we say small, we mean SMALL small. So small that we don't think there's an adjective to describe us - Micro-distillery?
