Consisting of a digital map and a punch card, the Trail encourages enthusiasts of craft spirits to visit the locations of all twelve Maine Distiller’s Guild members for tastings and educational tours.
Established at the end of 2015, the Maine Distiller’s Guild was created to help support and promote the growing craft distilling industry here in Maine. The first item of action for the MeDG was to create a distillery trail to help draw public attention to the large number of craft spirits made in our home state. Maine’s small distilleries combine to create over 50 different products, ranging from popular whiskies and vodka to more obscure herbal spirits such as absinthe and fernet. If there is a particular type of spirit that you prefer, chances are you can find a locally made version!
To participate in the Maine Distillery Trail, simply visit any participating Maine distillery and pick up a Trail card. As you visit each distillery, have your card marked. After visiting all twelve distilleries, return the completed card and receive a pair of Maine Distiller’s Guild rocks glasses. All completed Trail cards will also be entered into a Grand Prize drawing consisting of a box full of gift cards and merchandise from all of the MeDG members!
