CHEW meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at the Goodman Community Center, (Ironworks Building, Bolz A or Evjue), 149 Waubesa St., Madison, WI, unless otherwise noted in a program’s description.
“From Grain to Glass: J. Henry Bourbon”
Wednesday, January 8, 2025, 7:00 PM
Presenter: Evan Ackers, Madison Market Manager, J. Henry & Sons
Goodman Community Center (Ironworks Building, Room Bolz A), 149 Waubesa St., Madison, WI
Henry & Sons Hand-Crafted Bourbon and Rye owes its genesis to a family’s dedication and its response to the farm crisis of the 1980s. Rather than lose their heritage farm, Joe Henry sought an alternative: to produce bourbon and return to growing an heirloom red corn developed at the University of Wisconsin in 1939. Unique to the J. Henry & Sons’ product line is the use of this red corn as well as farm-grown wheat and rye in its mash bill.
Join us on January 8 to learn more about their grain to glass experience. This presentation is free and open to the public.
Evan Ackers is Madison Market Manager for J. Henry & Sons. Prior to his work with the distillery, Evan was bar and general manager at Bar Corallini before moving to Milwaukee to open the new Food Fight restaurant, Il Cervo.
