Bluestem

Bluestem Distillery, located in Bethalto, Illinois, is a locally-driven business that takes pride in crafting premium American-made spirits. Established with a dedication to utilizing local resources, Bluestem is best known for its signature vodka and gin, both distilled from locally grown corn. The name "Bluestem" honors the region's native prairie grass, reflecting the distillery's deep connection to the natural and cultural heritage of Illinois. By incorporating materials like slate from a historic train station and wood from a nearby Airforce base, Bluestem's tasting room reflects their commitment to preserving local history and supporting the community.

In addition to producing top-quality spirits, Bluestem offers immersive tours where visitors can learn about the intricate processes of mashing, fermentation, and distillation. Guests are invited to explore the facility, including a 1950s dairy tank used for production, and enjoy a complimentary beverage while soaking in the rich stories behind the brand.
