Middle West Spirits To Grow Significantly With Second Production Facilty

Ohio’s Middle West Spirits recently announced a multi-year expansion of its distillery, operational facilities and a 14-acre campus in Columbus, Ohio.

A statement from the spirits maker noted that this expansion makes Middle West Spirits the largest distillery in Ohio. The expansion will see the creation of 80 new jobs over the next three years, with hiring to begin immediately.

In 2020, the company acquired the vacant Alum Creek Campus and completed initial renovations to relocate and expand operations.

The new expansion plans include a 75,000-square-foot distillery, a grain recycling center, packaging and bottling facility, and more. There will be new office space to support growing its headquarters and positioning the site for the possibility of a future hospitality space.

Middle West officials noted that distilling will continue at the original Courtland facility in the Short North, which houses the company’s retail bottle shop and service bar restaurant.

“We’re excited about the Alum Creek development and the future of our company,” said Ryan Lang, founder and chief executive officer for Middle West Spirits. “The expansion of our operations allows us to hit capacities, aging goals and the volumes needed to continue to develop our brands and partnership programs.”

Andrew J. Ginther, Columbus’ mayor, said that Middle West is “making an immense impact on the local community by creating jobs and revitalizing a key property on the east side of Columbus that hopefully brings further investment to that corridor.”

Middle West Spirits currently makes 15 of its own branded products, including bourbon, rye and wheat whiskey varietals, along with the Double Cask Whiskey Collection.
