And you are invited.

We wrote about the $750,000 project backed by Michael Klebeckhere. The opening will be the first in a wave of new craft distilleries coming to the Hill in the wake of liberalized state laws related to small batch spirits.

2:39PM - We had a chance to talk briefly with Klebeck about opening night and want to make sure we're clear about one important aspect of things so nobody is too disappointed: the distillery part of things is just getting started.

Klebeck said that Friday night's unveiling of the new space will give everybody a chance to enjoy the new bar and see the distillery as it gears up for production. "We'll be open from 5 to 2 every day," Klebeck said, "and people will be able to see our experiments with distilling and understand how we are progressing."

donut flavored gin
i hope the liquor's better than the donuts--which are atrocious. no matter, i'm sure the marketing engine will convince rachel ray and the masses that whatever swill emerges from that gin head is worthy of a discerning palette.

What the shit are you babbling about? Sun Liquor never made donuts, and nobody on the hill likes "foodies".
