Nestled near the glimmering shores of Clear Lake, in the heart of North Iowa where Midwest skies stretch wide and proud, stands 173° Craft Distillery — a place where grit meets craft and tradition pours straight from the barrel. Here in farm country, we distill spirits with backbone: bold, honest, and unmistakably local. Step onto our grounds and you’ll feel the hum of hard work, the calm of lake air, and the buzz of something truly handcrafted. It’s more than a distillery — it’s a testament to doing things the right way, not the easy way.
