CL Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I know most distilleries used to take the summer off, but I thought I'd ask. A friend is driving by L'burg next week and I want to let them know.CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Even if they are not they might still be open for a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Wasn't going to mention the gift shop, I will only pour so much gas on someone's acquisition fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joboyd Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I stopped by the gift shop last Friday en route to Danville. Though I didn't take a tour, they were most certainly going on as I saw a group being led by a tour guide around the facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bllygthrd Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 True, but the site of a full fermenting tank (or 8 of them as I remember them having at FR) is a joy to behold.I'll second that!We stopped by there last month to see the "new" visitor center and gift shop ... the yeast was active and happy.

kcgumbohead Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Stopped in over the 4th of July. Took the tour or I should say partial tour as no distilling was going on they were on summer shut down. Now I'll just have to go back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemoth Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I was there July 7th and the distillery was shut down for the summer. They were still giving partial tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I stopped by the distillery Tuesday last week (8/6) on my drive across the country. The distilling resumes at midnight on 9/5. (I hope I remembered the date correctly, but it was definitely in the first week of Sept.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
