About
Dust Bowl Distillery, established in June 2024 within the Dust Bowl Brewing Company facility in Turlock, California, is led by Brewmaster Don Oliver using a 140-liter Carl still. They produce moonshine, gins, bourbon whiskey, flavored moonshines, and RTD canned cocktails, with sales limited to the Turlock taproom and online shipping in California. The distillery nods to the company's roots with Original Moonshine distilled from corn, malted barley, and wheat.
