What We’re About

We are proud to partner with the Children’s Advocacy Alliance to benefit the vital services they provide in giving counseling, safe haven, and legal support for abused & neglected children, through programs such as Child Advocacy Centers (CAC) and Court-Appoionted Special Advocates (CASA).

Last year’s festival was the first of its kind in the state, with a weekend of music headlined by legendary bluegrass artist Ricky Skaggs and renowned distilleries from across the state. Attracting nearly 4,500 aficionados of craft spirits and bluegrass music, the event raised over $16,000 for the Children’s Advocacy Alliance of Central Arkansas.

Arkansas Distillers Guild

“We aim to set a tone of transparency, both in our organization and in the spirits industry as a whole. We spotlight the true craft of our industry through all points of the manufacturing process, from small scale to large. And we look forward to telling that story.”
