Event Details

Hard Truth Distilling Co. of Nashville, Indiana is excited to present the 2021 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 will be the 3rd year for this one-of-a-kind event. 

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

This outdoor festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 2nd, from 2-6pm. The event will be held on the property, in the woods, underneath massive tents.  (VIP entry begins at 2pm, with General Admission entry beginning at 3pm).

The event will feature 15+ 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, plus a Hard Truth Distilling Co. tote bag.
