The Perfect Pairing: 28 Mile Distillery’s Craft Cocktails & Gourmet Pizza
In this episode of Small Business Big Dreams, we sit down with Eric Falberg, the visionary behind 28 Mile Distillery, a premier craft spirits destination known for its exceptional whiskey, craft cocktails, and gourmet pizza. Located in Highwood, Illinois, 28 Mile Distillery has become a hotspot for both spirit enthusiasts and food lovers, combining the art of distillation with the perfect wood-fired pizza experience.
Eric shares his entrepreneurial journey, from the early days of launching 28 Mile Distillery to crafting a unique brand that stands out in the competitive craft spirits industry. We dive into what it takes to build a successful distillery business, the challenges of branding and distribution, and how offering handcrafted pizza has elevated the customer experience.
