Bear Wallow Distillery uses 100% Indiana grains for its award-winning bourbons and flavored moonshines. The business was created thanks to Susan Spagnuolo and others who helped changed state law. Lauren_Casey reports.
GNAW BONE — In honor of Women's History Month, WRTV is highlighting local woman who are blazing trails in their field and making a difference in our communities. For one Brown County business owner, her curiosity and determination helped to bring an entirely new industry to the Hoosier state.
Spagnuolo's husband was the bourbon drinker in the household and she enjoyed a glass of wine, but while vacationing in the Carolinas nearly 11 years ago, the pair stumbled upon a little craft moonshine distillery. That is when they hit their first road block. Craft distilling was not legal in the state of Indiana at the time, as it is a state by state law. But Spagnuolo did not give up and she contacted her local state senator.
Spagnuolo opened Bear Wallow Distillery in Gnaw Bone, Indiana just steps off of State Road 46. The distillery offers award-winning bourbons and a variety of flavored moonshines. Now that the pandemic is winding down, tours are back and they are preparing to release several new products.
