Our Story
Northside Distilling began as a basement hobby—two friends with a still, exploring their passion for authentic, high-quality craft spirits. Before long, word spread and a weekend pastime became a bona fide business.
To meet growing demand, operations were moved out of the basement to the family barn located in Cincinnati’s historic Northside neighborhood, where the brand was officially born and began expanding a line of spirits known for its local flair.
Northside continues to grow, and with another move—this time to Cincinnati’s vibrant downtown scene—Northside Distilling has further broadened its offerings of award-winning, authentic spirits with deep yet smooth taste profiles. With each sip, savor the flavor that is unique to the Northside.
Northside Distilling is Cincinnati's 1st Downtown distillery since Prohibition. We currently produce bourbon, gin, vodka, American agave and seasonal rum as well as limited-edition specialty releases and private label spirits.
