New Columbia Distillers article

John Uselton in front of the raw space that will be New Columbia Distillers in NE DC

I have an article in the current issue (Feb/March) of Mid-Atlantic Brewing News on the arrival of DC's first distillery since at least prohibition (and possibly much further back, as nobody has been able to find evidence of a legal distillery in DC's history).  New Columbia Distillers will be operating out of a warehouse space in the Ivy City neighborhood of NE DC.  The craft distillery's flagship will be it's "Green Hat" gin named after Congress' prohibition era in-house bootlegger George Cassiday, with plans in the works for a barrel aged rye whiskey in the future.  The pair behind the operation, John Uselton and his father-in-law Michael Lowe, hope to receive their showpiece German-built still and mash tun in the next few months and have the gin available this summer.  They will look to the local community for volunteers to assist with weekly bottling sessions.
