History

• Northfield high school classmates Simeon and Mark began in January 2011 with Simeon\'s homemade coffee liqueur.
• Since then, they have nearly daily explored the biological, chemical, and business aspects of the distillation industry.
• In November 2012 they launched a reservation/microfinancing campaign, which raised USD 11,500 from over 100 people; they used this, along with an angel investment, to obtain an SBA loan in July.
• While they were completing construction in November 2013, they were the only two people in southern Minnesota to receive federal permission to produce spirits in over 100 years.
