We are closing
1350 Distilling, a proud Colorado Springs-based craft distillery that has served the local community with quality spirits and memorable experiences since 2019, announces with a heavy heart that it will be closing its doors permanently on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
Since its inception, 1350 Distilling has been dedicated to honoring our country’s military and first responders through our unique branding, award-winning, high-quality products, and unwavering commitment to community engagement. Over the years, we have built a loyal customer base, hosted countless events, and provided a gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
“One of our primary goals was to give back to our community,” said Phillip Bragg, Co-Founder and Head Distiller of 1350 Distilling. “Over our five years of operation, we raised over $20,000 for local nonprofits, and provided thousands of dollars of product in like-kind-donations and services.”
“This decision was not made lightly,” said Jake Weien, Co-Founder of 1350 Distilling. “We are incredibly grateful to our loyal customers, employees, and partners who have supported us throughout this journey. Together, we built something special, and we’ll always cherish the memories and relationships made here.”

Old Blood & Guts' Strawberry Flavored Vodka
80 Proof / 40% ABV
Silver Medal - The Fifty Best Flavored Vodka 2021
“Better to fight for something than live for nothing.”
– WWII General, George S. Patton, 1885-1945
A favorite infused spirit, 1350 Distilling has been serving in our Taste Lounge since the creation of our Minuteman Vodka. All Colorado sugar beets is our base that is unique and similar to nothing on the craft vodka market at this time. An honest Gluten Free distilled spirit.
The bright red spirit matches the four star general’s nickname in color. Dedicated to one of the U.S. Army’s most iconic officers and WWII generals: Old Blood & Guts, himself, General George S. Patton
We were awarded a silver medal at The Fifty Best International Tasting in 2021.
This 1350 Spirit is great for a summertime refreshment without being overly sweet. Perfect with seltzer, this all-naturally flavored spirit makes a mean, light flavored martini with little more than ice. Mix a fruit juice to add depth to an otherwise perfect flavored vodka.
