Breckenridge Craft Spirits Festival: Still On The Hill | October

FacebookTwitter

The Breckenridge Craft Spirits Festival was created in 2011 in the hopes of drawing more attention to the town’s emerging local distillery. Organized by Breckenridge Distillers, which has amassed numerous awards since its creation, the festival draws crowds from far and wide.

Being one of the most elevated towns in Colorado, building a craft distillery was a struggle. As the highest distillery in America and probably the world, the Breckenridge Distillery is one of the most lauded distilleries in Colorado.

Want to know their secret? It’s the water. Using a local mineral-rich snow-melt water that gradually filters through the mountains, they create some of the best spirits in the world, including bitters, sweet-corn vodka, and their most popular product, the Breckenridge Bourbon.
