Beach Time Distilling: Lewes' Leisurely Refined Spirits

Nestled in Lewes, Delaware, Beach Time Distilling offers a taste of the beach life in a bottle. This small, family-run craft distillery produces a range of spirits, including rum, vodka, gin, and whiskey, all meticulously distilled in small batches. Beach Time Distilling prides itself on its 'leisurely refined spirits,' achieved by allowing the natural fermentation process to take its time, resulting in smoother, stress-free products. Founded in 2015, Beach Time Distilling was the brainchild of Greg Christmas, a home brewing enthusiast with over 25 years of experience. Inspired by the distilling traditions of East Tennessee and his time at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Christmas decided to open his own distillery, creating a space where he could share his passion for crafting unique and flavorful spirits. The distillery uses a 250-liter Polish-made still to produce its spirits. Beach Time Distilling uses local ingredients when possible. Visitors can experience the distillery's laid-back atmosphere in its tasting room, where they can sample tasting flights, cocktails, and even local Dogfish Head beers. Beach Time Distilling also offers tours on Saturdays, providing an inside look at the distilling process and a tasting of their spirits.
