US-based craft distillery Middle West Spirits is to expand its production operations with the establishment of a second plant.
Based in Ohio, the whiskey, vodka and gin producer is set to expand its distillery, operational facilities and campus in Columbus. The campus was acquired in 2020 and the new expansion plans include a 75,000-square-foot distillery, a grain recycling centre and a packaging and bottling facility.

The new project will also create new office space to support growing the company’s headquarters and positioning the site with the hope of forming a hospitality space in the future. The expansion will create 80 new jobs over the next three years.
Distilling will also continue at the original Courtland facility in the Short North.
Middle West said the move would make the company one of the “top ten grain-to-glass whiskey and spirits” producers in the US.
