Venue Spotlight: Stop #2 on the New South Roadshow – Dread River Distillery, Birmingham, Alabama

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our second stop on the New South Roadshow: Dread River Distillery in Birmingham.

Keeping with the theme of the events industry coming ROARING back in the (20)20s…. we are hitting up a distillery on our next stop. Dread River spirits are created for those inspired by the journey, the perfect fit for the travel and events industry. They are currently distilling small batches of Bourbon, Whiskey, Rye, Vodka, Gin, Rum and Blue Agave, which makes this the perfect next stop on our Prohibition themed tour.

Come, take a journey down the mystic Dread River…

The design concept for Dread River Distilling Company reflects the company’s brand, which references an ancient tale of an underground mystic river, flowing beneath the streets of Birmingham, large enough for steam vessels to traverse, and from which Dread River sources its main ingredient, water.
The manufacturing space design engages the company branding while providing an efficient production layout for the distillery and embracing natural light and ventilation.

The tasting room design reflects the depth and darkness of this mystic river. The unique vibe of each colorful lounge room reflects the unforeseen nature of a journey down this mystic river, so as guests move throughout the bar, the experience is ever-changing, similar to one’s journey down “Dread River”.

And as event professionals….we know a thing or two about ever-changing….

We look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham and Dread River Distillery and the second stop on the New South Roadshow!
