Cheers to Nine Years of Iron Fish!

Aug. 23, 2025

Every good birthday party should last at least four days, right? Iron Fish Distillery in Thompsonville is planning to live it up for number nine from Thursday, Aug. 28, to Sunday, Aug. 31. They’ll be giving tours of their facilities (25 percent off with code ANNITOUR9) and offering live music each night. The weekend highlights include a Whiskey Club release on Thursday (5-7pm); a barrel making demonstration on Friday (3pm); a Bagpipe Blessing of the Spirits (12:30pm), children’s piñata (6pm), and birthday cupcakes on Saturday; and wagon rides from Fantail Farms (4-7pm) and a corn roast (time TBD) on Sunday. Find all the details—and start shopping Iron Fish spirits, cocktails, and the summer food menu—at ironfishdistillery.com. Then join the party (and be sure to bring the whole family and the doggos!) at 14234 Dzuibanek Road.
