Coppercraft Distillery announced last week the release of an exclusive gin, crafted in partnership with the Detroit Tigers. Social 416 Gin is made with 13 botanicals and blades of bluegrass, the same bluegrass that can be found in Comerica Park. The premium, limited-release gin will be sold at select Michigan retailers, in Comerica Park, and at Coppercraft Distillery’s tasting rooms in both Holland and Saugatuck.
“We are thrilled to be celebrating the return of baseball to Comerica Park with a very special, limited release gin made by a team who loves baseball and crafting premium spirits for Michigan sports fans,” shared Brian Mucci, CEO of Coppercraft Distillery. “Our team is grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with the Detroit Tigers on this special release.”
The new product’s moniker recognizes the 416 feet between Comerica Park’s home plate and the Coppercraft Distillery Bar, located on the Pepsi Porch in right field. Branded by Coppercraft in 2019 as part of a multi-year sponsorship, the bar offers panoramic views of the ballgame and boasts outdoor lounge seating with a number of high definition televisions to create the ultimate fan experience.
Social 416 has generated waves of interest from both spirit enthusiasts and the West Michigan community. Craft Spirits Magazine, The Holland Sentinel, and the Grand Rapids Business Journal all shared the special announcement in recent days.
