Ten years ago, we set out with a simple vision: to return spirit to its origin by creating Michigan’s first farm distillery. This Labor Day Weekend, we invite you to celebrate a decade of handcrafted whiskey, unforgettable memories, live music, great food, and the incredible community that made it all possible.

Join us for four days of special tours, anniversary traditions, live entertainment, family activities, and a toast to the next chapter of Iron Fish.
