Covalent Spirits: Creating Bonds Through Sharing.
Covalent Spirits: Creating Bonds
Through Sharing.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/covalent-spirits-distillery-tasting-room#/
Dec 5, 2021
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.
Our Story
Meet Jenn and Drew – the Masterminds of Covalent Spirits!
Jenn is our “Chief Thinker” and a science
geek at heart. A graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and
The Johns Hopkins University, she is an entrepreneur with over 25 years of
management/technology consulting experience. Jenn started her own consulting
company in 2016, and she also operates TasteBuds Events, an event design
company that focuses on themed food/beverage tastings.
Drew is our “Chief Taster” and product
quality control guru. He graduated from Gettysburg College and received a
Doctor of Education (EdD) degree from The Johns Hopkins University. He has been
a public educator for almost 30 years, first as a math and computer science
teacher, then as a principal (many locals might recognize him as the former
principal of Century High School). He currently works as a principal in Howard
County.

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
