Covalent Spirits: Creating Bonds Through Sharing.

Covalent Spirits: Creating Bonds Through Sharing.

Covalent Spirits is new distillery, tasting room, and event venue coming soon to Westminster, MD. We launched an Indiegogo campaign (https://igg.me/at/covalentspirits) to raise money to help with the renovation costs. Covalent Spirits is moving into the old City Garage on Main Street, a historic building built in the 1920s, but it needs a lot of TLC. With your help, we can restore a piece of history, reinvent this space, and revitalize a part of downtown Westminster.

Covalent Spirits is a craft distillery, tasting room, and event venue that is dedicated to bringing distilling back to Westminster, MD. Located 45 min from Baltimore and 75 min from DC, Covalent Spirits is nestled in the heart of Carroll County, surrounded by rich history and beautiful landscapes.

Covalent Spirits will be taking an experimental approach to creating a variety of spirits, including vodka, gin, brandy, liqueur, and whiskey. We want to help our customers better understand their palates and better appreciate what is in their glass. In chemistry, "covalent" refers to a bond created through sharing (electrons). We believe that's how you form the strongest and most memorable bonds -- sharing a drink, sharing a memory, sharing a community. That is the "covalent spirit,” and that is the essence of our company.

We officially incorporated in early March 2020, right before the pandemic hit. Because of the pandemic, we had spare time to focus on business planning, but we also had to deal with contractor shortages and increased costs of materials. Since this tasting room is where we want the community to share and connect, we thought its build-out would be the perfect use of the money raised by this campaign.

Take-out form Molli's Cafe for lunch.

Caroline and I got take out for lunch at Molli Cole and Matt Cole's Molli's Cafe. We loved our lunch. I had - of course, a grilled cheese sandwich (and a few Semper Fi crayons.) Caroline had the Rachel. It was the perfect lunch after working at the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program barn - getting ready to bring the horses in next week. Have a great day. 23Aug2021 Monday
