Continuum Distilling celebrated the official launch of its spirits line at its distillery and tasting room in Waterbury on February 22. Guests enjoyed a tour of the distillery and tastes of Continuum Distilling’s spirits, which are created using green practices and ingredients, including the “trimmings” that are often left over from the beer brewing process, including sugars, fermented beer and yeast. The spirits line uses repurposed beer from local breweries to create its three flagship spirits: Charred, Drops and ContinuRum. Guests enjoyed samples of the spirits line along with craft cocktails and food from Olmo and the Caseus Cheese Truck.
