Avonak Distillery is Texas’ first certified organic distillery in Texas. The distillery takes its name from a small town north of Houston, where it is based. Founded in 2016 by Kyle Wray, his wife, and a diverse group of Houstonians, the distillery introduced its first products to the market in mid-2018. Avonak Distillery’s first products were its Avonak Vodka, Eye10 Gin, and Fifty9 Gin. The distillery is also Texas’ first “grain-to-glass” distillery. Kyle and his wife traveled the globe and visited places with age-old distilling traditions. They realized they could use their knowledge “to build a tradition of their own” in the city they call home. With its line of “premium products made in small batches” and “accented with local flavors”, master distiller Kyle plans to release a bourbon product soon. Join the Avonak Society and catch Kyle on a scheduled tour of the distillery.

What does the 8^th Wonder Brewery do when it reaches icon status for its craft beers? It moves on to distilling spirits, of course! Brewing craft beers in a dome-like warehouse, the founders of 8^th Wonder Brewery jokingly named their company after the old moniker of the Houston Astrodome. In 1965, Houston Astrodome was the world’s first air-conditioned domed stadium and dubbed the “8^th wonder of the world”. 8^th Wonder Brewery was established in 2013, and promised “fermented fun in East Downtown Houston”. It has since become known for its different varieties of craft beers. In 2018, the company expanded to the liquor and spirits business by opening 8^th Wonder Distillery right across the street from the brewery. They currently serve their house brand vodka and gin as well as cocktails and their craft beers at the distillery.

They distilled it 6 times to produce a noticeably different viscosity and mouth feel than other vodkas. Check out their website to find out where you can buy their vodka. They also have an updated social media page where you can see posts on where to grab a bottle.
