Inside Revelstoke's Craft Brewing and Distilling Scene

Inside Revelstoke's Craft Brewing and Distilling Scene

Monashee Spirits opened in April 2017 and is the brain child of Josh and Jenn McLafferty. They produce small batch, organic spirits on MacKenzie Avenue, in the heart of downtown. Community is central to everything they do here. Their grain comes from Armstrong, BC (just down the road) and they know the farmers who produce it by name, the honey they use to ferment comes in part from the apiary on their roof. Even their spent grains are sent to the local farm, Terra Firma, for their animals or transformed into tasty treats at the Modern Bakeshop across the road from the distillery. The idea behind their distilling is that nothing they make there can be made exactly the same anywhere else in the world- they are distilling the spirit of Revelstoke. Literally.
