THE STORY: Bringing a new distillery to Providence has been brewing for five years and not even the COVID-19 pandemic could stop new beverages from being introduced to the Ocean State. Industrious Spirit Co., since opening in spring of 2020, has produced approximately 4,050 bottles of vodka and gin, adding to Rhode Island’s growing brewing industry.
› The vodka and gin are made with 100% organic corn. To make the vodka, brewers cook, ferment and distill corn in small batches. Once the batches are ready, brewers combine them for a further round of distillation, and then everything is charcoal filtered at least 20 times for a crisper experience.
