Great Lakes Distillery

For the first time this year, OnMilwaukee separated the always-popular breweries from other tours to create a distinct category, and the city’s standard-bearer for spirits ran away with the victory. Great Lakes Distillery, founded in 2004 by Guy Rehorst, earned more reader votes than the next five spots combined, a testament to its old-fashioned but high-quality craftsmanship, popular and informative tours and longstanding good reputation. Say hi to Roaring Dan for us!

OnMilwaukee editors' pick: Great Lakes Distillery

Runners up: 
2. Milwaukee Pedal Tavern
3. Riverwalk Boat Tours
4. Wollersheim Winery & Distillery 
5. Central Standard Craft Distillery

This year we also asked a variety of prominent Milwaukeeans to weigh in on their pick for specific categories. For this category, we consulted Eric Paulsen, a radio DJ and co-host of the "Discover Wisconsin" TV show.

Paulsen's pick: Twisted Path Distillery
In a prime example of intoxicating clustering, Twisted Path Distillery, Bittercube Apothecary and Enlightened Brewing Company all share the same building in the Lincoln Warehouse.

From the unique drinks made from on-site craft spirits to the tunes spinning on vinyl to set the tone, the Dock 18 Tasting Room has to be one of the coolest cozy cocktail places in existence.
