Stein Distillery
Stein Distillery pioneered the way for micro-distilleries in Eastern Oregon. Since opening in 2009, Stein Distillery’s line of handcrafted products has steadily increased, along with its consumer base. In 2011, Stein Distillery released its much anticipated 2-year American Oak-aged Straight Rye and Straight Bourbon Whiskeys.
