Each year we open up nominations for Brandy Old Fashioned lovers. Friend and family alike can nominate someone they know has a passion for the Brandy Old Fashioned. We sort through hundreds of nominations each year and choose six inductees that we know represent the incoming class of Hall of Famer’s!
Every year Central Standard Craft Distillery Co-Founders Evan Hughes and Pat McQuillan launch a month-long campaign encouraging Wisconsinites to request hand-crafted brandy from local, family-owned distilleries in their Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned cocktails.
“We’d love for everyone to ask for our North Wisconsin brandy when ordering their Old-Fashioned cocktails,” McQuillan said. “But more importantly, we want to encourage people to drink locally, support hard-working Wisconsin families and taste brandy from local distillers.”
To build awareness for their drink-local crusade, Hughes and McQuillan worked with the Wisconsin governor’s office to proclaim September as Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned month and the first day of fall (September 22) as Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned Day.
