Boston has a long history with distilled spirits, from Colonial times through Prohibition. More recently, there has been a resurgence in the craft distilling industry from Cape Ann to Cape Cod.
Regional standouts such as Boston Harbor Distillery, Bully Boy Distillers and Short Path Distillery have opened up a new era, with more than a dozen new businesses now on the scene. The ingredients, production processes and marketing techniques are as varied as the beverages themselves.
Join author Zack Lamothe as he reveals the backstory of the popular craft spirit movement in the greater Boston area.
