The NY Distillery Trails app has been developed by the New York Distillers Guild as a digital tool for spirit enthusiasts alike to try out that could lead them to discovering their new favorite local alcohol producer. The app was developed through a partnership with Visit Widget and comes as a comprehensive guide for consumers to use as a way to explore the burgeoning distilling scene within New York State. Users will be able to explore a variety of distillery trails that have a theme, but can also find ones that are based on distillers who produce a particular type of spirit and more.
Founder and Head Distiller of Do Good Spirits and Guild President Brian Facquet commented on the NY Distillery Trails app saying, "With the signing of this legislation, New York continues its tradition of supporting homegrown entrepreneurship. Our new NY Distillery Trails app is the perfect companion to this historic change.”
