Take three friends with you to Evanston's first legal distillery to witness the making of such premium spirits as American Gin, Bourbon, Rye, and White Whiskey. Meet the distillers and learn the process that goes into creating these fine craft spirits... not to mention a chance at discovering some of FEW Spirits' Limited Edition micro batches of specialty liquors. When available, these highly sought after libations will be offered for purchase alongside the standard FEW Spirits line.

Scheduled tours of the FEW Spirits Distillery occur on Saturdays at 2 PM and immediately thereafter at 3 PM.  As State law limits FEW to 3 pours of 1/4 ounce each - please don't be angry with them! However, bottles are available for purchase at the distillery, as is branded merchandise.

Reservations can be made online, up to two weeks in advance, space permitting. Online tour reservations close one hour prior to the beginning of the tour. If spaces exist after this point, they can be filled by walk-ins on a first-come, first-serve basis.

ABOUT: As the Temperance Movement approached boiling point, America's most beloved liquid vice found itself under heavy siege. While connoisseurs saw abstinence creep across the country, the city of Chicago began its preparations to host the most elaborate of fairs. 

Only a few miles North, Frances Elizabeth Willard and her league of temperance supporters had turned Evanston into a stronghold for their cause.

Founded as a dry community, Evanston was home to many influential advocates for Prohibition who effectively kept the city free of alcohol for more than one hundred years. 

Though the city legalized drinking in the late Nineties, it took the perseverance of our Master Distiller, Paul Hletko, to reverse the antiquated liquor laws. With roots going back to some of Europe's fabled brewing families, Paul and FEW Spirits have marked the end of Evanston's Prohibition and given the city its very own craft distillery.
