ANTWERP \u2014 Antwerp Distillery officially opened its doors with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration on Saturday September 12, 2026, welcoming a large crowd from the community for the milestone event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebration brought guests together on the distillery\u2019s patio for an afternoon of food, live music and fellowship. Organizers said seeing the patio filled with community members made the work leading up to the opening worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antwerp Distillery expressed its appreciation to the team of people who worked behind the scenes and throughout the weekend to prepare for the grand opening and keep the event running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several area businesses and organizations also helped make the celebration possible. Clean Bone BBQ served food throughout the day, while Hold the Line provided live music on the patio. Antwerp Golf Club supplied a tent, tables and chairs for the event, Antwerp Chamber of Commerce hosted the ribbon cutting ceremony, and CR Carpet provided the stage rug for the band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
