A WTBA member that crafts spirits, not streets, is making a big move.

Central Standard Distillery is consolidating its operations into one 73,000 sq.-ft. space on the Harley-Davidson campus in Milwaukee.

The distillery plans to open a tasting room, host private events, and offer distillery tours in addition to making all of its products on-site.  The expansion would allow Central Standard to double its workforce, the Milwaukee Business Journal reports.

The company currently has three production and storage buildings around the greater Milwaukee area.

WTBA has held two Board of Directors receptions at Central Standard’s craft house on Clybourn Street since they joined the association in 2023.  That location will remain open and operational, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
