West End Mfg. Facility

10/29/2025

Dear Friends of West End Distillery, next week we will be changing this page to “West End Mfg. Facility.” The physical cider and spirits production side of our operation as well as our physical spaces to visit will remain exactly the same. The goal is to exhibit a clear message about our products and our physical spaces in the digital world and to simplify our work lives a bit. For simplicity, social media posts about our products and events will be generated from the West End Ciderhouse page with the new “West End Mfg. Facility” page tagged from there when it is appropriate to be included. West End Mfg. Facility, like the West End Distillery, is located at 3 N. Shafer, and includes our tasting room where you can try and purchase our cider and spirits in the company of knowledgeable staff, or us, Kelly, Shen, and Deanna. We are open Friday and Saturday, 12pm-6pm.
