We’re serious about getting back to our roots as producers of alcoholic spirits in southeastern Ohio. Nowhere is that more prevalent than at the Black Dia- mond Distillery operated by Hocking College in the southern Perry County com- munity of New Straitsville, which is known as the Moonshine Capital of the World! Students who enroll in Hocking College’s new Fermentation Science program get the chance to experience what it’s like to work in a microdistillery operation there. As well, students can gain skills in specific certification programs at the Nelsonville campus or go deeper for a two-year certification degree. In addition to disilling whiskey and other spirits, the program also teaches craft beer and ale microbrewing, wine making (using grapes grown by the college) and probiotic beverage production. Wherever you go in the region these days, entrepreneurs are brewing up legal beverages for your enjoyment. Use our guide below to plan your visit to one of their establishments.
