We spent some time up in Fond du lac, Wisconsin last year. That’s where we met Bryce Retzer from the Ledgerock Distillery.
The Retzer family are lifelong residents of Wisconsin and believe in quality products. They grow and harvest their own grain to ensure a personal touch. “From seed to spirit” is what their webpage says. Ledgerock Distillery LLC is a small batch craft distillery built on the Retzer Family farm. Producing vodka, gin, moonshine, bourbon, and corn whiskey.
“We grow our own grain on our farm, nestled between Fond du Lac and Eden, Wisconsin. We also distill and bottle our spirits on site, using the limestone-filtered water of the Niagara Escarpment — or what we locals affectionately call The Ledge.”
“Ledgerock Distillery is a true labor of love, and every member of our family pitches in to produce the purest products possible from our grains. We suspect that once you try our spirits, you’ll have a new favorite brand.”
-JAY & HEIDI RETZER, OWNERS
We took a tour and were very impressed with both the people and the product. From the “Traditional” Vodka to the Retzer Farm Bourbon, each bottle is made right on site. They’ve been featured on “Outdoor Wisconsin” and you can buy Ledgerock Spirits in several places in Wisconsin. Their Retzer Farm Bourbon is aged in 30-gallon white oak barrels. They go the extra mile to make sure their product is unique. Check their website for details.
And they also have great Ledgerock Scented Candles, Hand Sanitizer, Magnets, and Coasters. Those candles smell divine. And host Vendor Fairs so there is something for everyone at Ledgerock. From coffee to maple syrup, the fair has a variety. Homemade goodies and more.
There’s a lot of information on their webpage and Facebook. A video introduction, descriptions of their spirits, and recipes using their products. Go follow them on Facebook and see what events they have planned.
If you are in the area, the Distillery is open Wednesday-Saturday from 11-5 and they are practicing social distancing with a lot of outside events.
And as always “Please Enjoy Responsibly.”
