Detroit Distilleries is a short-film documentary project exploring the rise of craft distilleries in and around Detroit, Michigan. The project started in Zurich, Switzerland where Mark and Elizabeth Henry went shopping for whiskey at the Gnüsserei. There they found a bottle of Koval Rye (produced in Chicago, Illinois), and were inspired to initiate a film project focused on distilleries in the MidWest of the United States. The project explores the culture of small batch craft distilleries with a focus on Detroit, Michigan.

Detroit Distilleries includes on-site interviews at the distilleries. Our goal is to explore their individual stories behind starting their businesses and how the local environments and economies have shaped their growth.

Detroit Distilleries is an independent project from Michigander and Pittsburgher expats residing in Switzerland. It is made possible through the generous time contributions of the individual distilleries. Special thanks go to Jeanette Pierce from the DETROIT EXPERIENCE FACTORY who helped to establish contacts in Detroit to set up the interviews.
