Indiana: dinner and distilling at Spring Mill

Have dinner while learning about distilling history at Spring Mill State Park’s first dinner in the grist mill of 2019, which will be on April 27 at 6 p.m.


The guest speaker will be Alan Bishop, head distiller at Spirits of French Lick Distillery in West Baden. He has done a lot of research about long-lost distilleries and distillers from the pre-prohibition Hoosier hills because of his family ties to distilling and its culture. He will speak on “The History of Distilling in Hoosier Occupied Northern Kentucky: The Black Forest of Indiana.”

The dinner will be catered by the Spring Mill Inn, and the cost is $50 per person. Make reservations through Spring Mill Inn. Seating is limited.

Watch for information on the upcoming dinners on Saturday, June 8 and Saturday, Oct. 19.
