Recent Events

Yahara Bay Whiskey Release Party!
Thanks to all our friends and fans who came to help us celebrate this momentous occasion! As the first aged whiskey produced in Wisconsin since Prohibition, we are excited to share our newest spirit with Madison. Guests sampled our full line of products, noshed on some tasty treats, and hand dipped their whiskey bottles in wax to seal in all the Wisconsin grain goodness. We hope you enjoyed getting to know The Spirit of Madison

Celebration of American Distillers
What can we say, we LOVE this event! We had the opportunity to meet over 300 spirits fans at The Edgewater Hotel as well as sample some of the finest spirits in the country. We were extra enthusiastic showcasing our newest addition, Yahara Bay Whiskey. The feedback was positive and we're looking forward to releasing it to the public very soon.

Madison Malt Society Tasting Event
Spirit Enthusiasts had the opportunity to join us at Barriques to sample our full range of products. If you've never been to Barriques we strongly recommend a visit! They have a great selection of beer, wine, and spirits available for sale and drinking on site, along with a delightful food selection. We're looking forward to many more events with the Madison Malt Society and continuing to share our products and passion with fans around Madison.

Dexter's Pub and Madison Brewer's Guild Pour to Prevent Cancer
On Valentine's Day we spent a wonderful afternoon with brewers and distillers from Wisconsin to raise money for breast cancer research. In addition to the flowing beer and spirits, patrons brought a huge assortment of chocolaty goodness to enter in the chocolate bake-off. Chocolate, beer, vodka, and the event raised over $2500 - What could be better!

Maximum Ink Valentine's Day Bash
If you've never been to a Maximum Ink-hosted party before, I encourage you to do so whenever possible. The evening started with free Yahara Bay drinks for anyone who arrived before 10. This loosened up the crowd for participation in WYOU Valentine videos, shot on the Scatz stage and beamed to the 20+ TV's stationed around the large dance club and bar (and to their TV station for the next day). After some heart-felt "I love you's", V05, a 10-piece seventy's band finished out the evening with some super groovy tunes. We had such a great time we sorta' forgot to take pictures.

Strollers Theatre Fundraiser
We were very excited to be a part of the Strollers fundraising event. We love supporting our local arts and Strollers offers a great mix of traditional and eclectic shows. We set up shop on stage and extolled the virtues of Yahara Bay while offering free tastings and a cash bar (20% of all alcohol sales from the 2 hour event to the theatre.) The hit of the afternoon was the Yahara Bay signature Stroller's Snuggie created especially for this event. Click here for the recipe and pics!
