Brew Pipeline, a direct-access platform between craft beverage producers and new markets, announced today its partnership with Proof Artisan Distillers. Glen Fargo American Malt Whiskey (single malt whiskey), Crooked Furrow (four year bourbon) and Harvest Blend (two year bourbon) will join the Portfolio program. This marks the first time that a craft spirit will join Brew Pipeline’s Portfolio. All three spirits are available nationwide, excluding ND and AZ, for year-round distribution.
Brothers Joel and Jay Kath are the founders and distillers at Proof Artisan Distillers – awarded with more than 30 awards at national competitions since 2015. All spirits are produced from locally sourced grains entirely on site in their historic downtown Fargo, North Dakota distillery. Using traditional small batch distillation methods, quality is tasted in every batch and every barrel.
“We’re very excited to be teamed with Brew Pipeline for this launch across the country,” says Joel Kath, president of Proof Artisan Distillers. “This is more than just a national launch of our craft method whiskies, but it’s also Brew Pipeline’s inaugural launch of any distilled spirit. I am deeply honored that our spirits are the first to join the Brew Pipeline Portfolio program. Cheers!”

About Proof Artisan Distillers: 
Proof Artisan Distillers resides in a historic building previously occupied by Fargo’s Municipal Court.  A beautiful 25’ copper still, ‘The Judge’, is located near the original Judge’s Chambers. A massive bar, dating back to the 1890’s, ordains the Tasting Room and proudly serves as the showcase to Proof Mixology. Volunteer friends of Proof, affectionately known as ‘the minions’, retrieved the bar from its prior home one day before the building was demolished. With sincere appreciation, Minions Gin, is named in their honor.
Master distiller, Jay Kath, has an unequaled pallet and an amazing talent for crafting spirits. Brothers, Jay & Joel, share their passion by fostering uncompromising standards. Quality is assured through every step: grain source, mash, ferment, distillation, barrel specifications, whiskey cellar maturation, final barrel conditioning and bottling. Each and every drop is produced on site.
