Recap: South Sound Spirits Gathering 2017

Two weekends ago, we went for a drive down I-5 for a night in Olympia in the name of the second annual South Sound Spirit Gathering. The Olympic Flight Museum in Tumwater was the perfect backdrop for a night with twenty-four of the state's finest distilleries.

The night was a fun way to meet some of the faces behind the distilleries in a much more intimate setting than some of the big events we have here in Seattle. It was clear that there's a momentum growing in the state's craft beer, cider, and spirits industries!

Here are my favorite scenes from the night. Each distillery is noted and linked below:
