A Little Kentucky in West Michigan
Grand Rapids Magazine
When Corewell Health purchased Eastern Kille’s original Ottawa Avenue building, it provided owners Steve Vander Pol and Brandon Voorhees the opportunity to scale up their operation.
First, they opened a Wealthy Street outpost serving up cocktails with the excellent spirits they produce. Then, this winter, they opened the new $4.2 million distillery, cocktail bar and restaurant in Rockford.
The new space sits on 16 acres of field and forest next to the White Pine Trail and is home to a beautiful new distillery space that looks like it belongs with many of the gorgeous distillery buildings in Kentucky. It features 8,000 square feet of distillery space and 4,000 square feet for its restaurant.
