Hard Truth Distilling Co. of Nashville, Indiana is excited to present the 3rd Annual Midwest Distillers Fest — an immersive craft spirits tasting experience that's the largest and most unique event of its kind in the entire Midwest.  

This event will again take place on the beautiful grounds of Hard Truth Hills in Brown County, Indiana — a world-class destination featuring 325 acres of wooded hills, hiking trails and more. Hard Truth Hills is also home to the award-winning Hard Truth Distilling Co., a brand new Big Woods restaurant, the Hard Truth Hills Welcome Center, and multiple bars and cocktail lounges.

This outdoor festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3rd, from 1-5 pm. The event will be held on the property, in the woods, underneath massive tents.  (VIP entry begins at 1pm, with General Admission entry beginning at 2pm).

The event will feature 25-30 craft distilleries from across Indiana and the Midwest offering more than 100 different spirits available to sip and sample straight or to enjoy as part of a craft cocktail. 

All VIP and GA attendees will be responsibly allowed UNLIMITED samples of all spirits and all cocktails during the event. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and get to know the craftsmen and women from each distillery and even purchase to-go bottles from their favorite Indiana distilleries.
