Deerhammer Distillery

At Deerhammer, our distilling is steeped in whiskey tradition, but our methods are infused with curiosity and creativity. From our cornerstone single malt to our forthcoming bourbon, rye and limited run single barrel spirits, we're redefining the flavor-and future-of independent American whiskey. Stop by for a whiskey tasting... craft cocktail... or a bite to eat from our new menu featuring some seriously highfalutin brats, all beef franks, chili, and more!

Reviewed By TripswithRiss - Chicago, United States

Whiskey fans, stop by the Deer Hammer for a stiff drink and a cozy quaint setting. If you don’t love Whiskey this is the place to change your mind! They have everything from whiskey flights and straight up pours to more fruity drinks like their Margarito or the Green Grind. Each cocktail is perfectly crafted by their friendly staff! Fair prices, and a great atmosphere that is dog friendly! In the summer they have an amazing outdoor patio with a food truck which makes for a lovely relaxing afternoon. The Deer Hammer really is a must see in downtown BV!
