They also "serve cocktails made with their own liquor. Rum, vodka, gin". You can try the "Bloody Mary with the horseradish vodka". It is also good "taking the tour" where they will "explain the entire process" in making their products. They also "have live music on Fridays and Saturdays".

Acre Distilling takes its name from the distillery’s location, the infamous Hell’s Half Acre.

The founders of Acre Distilling were once with a brewing company until they ventured into the liquor world. Along with the distillery's aptly named spirits such as Hell’s Half Acre Rum, Longhair Jim Bourbon, and Miss Addie’s Vodka, the distillery also serves coffee and cocktails. Acre Distilling has over 18 different products including single malt whiskey, bourbon, vodka, gin, rum, cordials, bitters, and flavored liqueurs.
