New York is swift becoming one of the largest producers of artisanal distilled spirits in the US, and Brooklyn is leading the way with an explosion of local producers and admirers. BKNY is rockin' it! But why? How did this all come about?

Laws, allegiance and land all contribute to this urban phenomenon, difficult to reproduce elsewhere.

Join us at The Shanty in Williamsburg Brooklyn, the heart of the locavore movement and home to New York Distilling Company, founded by Tom Potter, "Time Out New York's 2012 "Artisan of the Year" .

Tom is no stranger to being on the cutting edge of things. He was one of the founders of the nearby and beloved Brooklyn Brewery. Hear from Tom, tour the distillery and taste some award winning artisanal spirits!
