The Put-in-Bay Brewery and Distillery History
The home of the Put-In-Bay Brewery And Distillery is well over 100 years old. On a piece of property originally owned by Valentine Doller, this outstanding modernized brick building stands. One of the richest and most prominent residents of the island, Doller held many important positions, including being the third mayor of the city.
The first building on this site, a small wooden building that served as a dry goods store, was built in 1898 by Bennie Rosenfeld. The new owners, the Rittman Family, constructed the building we see today after the building was lost in a fire. The building has expanded and performed many purposes over the years.
In the first portion of the building, Mr. Rittman initially opened his grocery store. He then opened a garage, and Put-In-Bay Township eventually purchased the building for the island’s fire station.
In 1995, for the sole purpose of opening a distillery, Carl and Chris Krueger bought the building at an auction. The company has grown to include a back enclosure and open-air patio since it opened in 1996. In 2013 we saw the addition of a stunning new product to the already impressive copper range. Put-In-Bay has a long winemaking history and finally, due to Put-in-Bay history, it can now add a long-awaited distillery.
