About

Founded in 2006 by Christian Stromberg in a hand-built barn beside the Saxtons River in Cambridgeport, Vermont, this distillery blends Lithuanian family heritage with locally-sourced Vermont ingredients. The Stromberg family’s traditional Krupnikas recipe was adapted using pure Vermont maple syrup, earning the distillery the distinction of producing ‘Vermont in a bottle.’ Operations moved to Brattleboro in 2011, and the facility is now 100% solar powered.
