Foodable Network featured an article exploring the New Deal Tasting Room and sharing some wintery cocktail recipes featuring New Deal spirits.
“Step inside New Deal Distillery’s tasting room and you are greeted with a modern and industrial vibe, as feels appropriate for its Southeast location. Now in its eleventh year, New Deal was the first to take up residence in Distillery Row in 2004, and just the second modern distillery in Portland history. Following in the footsteps of the local wine & craft beer industries, Distillery Row really seems to have a stronghold in the area. Portland deserves a lot of credit for this; consumers, retailers, and restaurants truly seem to all lock in on the support of these local efforts, enabling them to not just succeed, but flourish and rack up national accolades.”
“New Deal is no exception, most recently being awarded “Best Local Distillery” by Willamette Week’s “Best of Portland” poll, one of the “10 Best American Small Batch Gins” by Men’s Journal, and a “Best Supporting Spirit” from SIP Northwest for its Coffee Liqueur. Are the coffee beans local? How could they not be! Made from Water Avenue Coffee beans, located just a half-mile away. Never let it be said that Portland isn’t 100 percent authentic in its locality.”
