Almost a year ago, we heard about an impending arrival known as Fremont Mischief, a distillery located at 132 N. Canal Street.
Mischief calls itself “a full-circle distillery where their spent grain is reused and returns, full-circle, as organic compost for local farms and gardens.”
All was quiet on their front for a long time but the liquor finally made its debut last week at a tasting in West Seattle.
Today was their first tasting, and they featured three offerings from Fremont Mischief Distillery, an eight year, and a three-year John Jacob, 100-percent rye whiskey, each aged in charred oak barrels,, three-year 100-percent rye, and a winter wheat full-bodied vodka. A line sometimes 15-people long awaited samples of each.
According to a Facebook events page, the distillery will be officially opening its doors October 1st with a a special tasting party.
You can find out a lot more about Fremont Mischief over at their website.

Shame the first tasting wasn’t in Fremont.

I 2nd PAW’s remark - what’s the point in being in Fremont if the events aren’t held there.

now i’m not one to turn a blind eye to the whole renewable/reusable concept, but given the fact that the ingredients are organic (and not in the whole “organic” sense, but in the fact they are not “man-made”), spent grain really poses no ecological worry in my book - even if it did find it’s way into landfill.

On the surface, other things about Mischief don’t make sense, such as the great expense of their build out. Perhaps cart before horse, or rather, cork before bottle?
