in well over a year for a tasting event in our capital city of Cheyenne, where they satisfied nearly 200 thirsty palates eager to sample the finest spirits in Wyoming. In October, the guild will hold its inaugural tasting gala adjacent to and in partnership with the Wyoming Film Festival in Sheridan. That weekend will also include our annual member meeting and retreat. We’re working hard to grow unity in our state among our members and create strategic partnerships with
diverse organizations. August saw the launch of our Allied Trade Partner membership, bringing industry partners closer to our distillers in order to help their businesses grow. Keep an eye on our social media channels (@wyodistillersgiuld) for new happenings and releases throughout the state. Our website launch will be coming soon as well as a new online merch store. We’re looking forward to a slightly
quieter fall when we can start preparing for our 2022 legislative session. Cheers to a great year of recovery! Michelle Forster Executive Director, Wyoming Distillers Guild michelle@wyodistillersguild.org
