GNU CRAFT SPIRITS

THE "GNU" NORMAL

During the height of the pandemic there was one thing we missed most: our community. As “gatherers”, we (Dawn, Tony, and Darren) revel in bringing people together whether it a backyard BBQ, cocktail kitchen party, or post-game G&T at the local rink with other hockey parents. So, while mandates forced us apart from the ones we love, we started dreaming deeply about how we could continue to bring people together. Naturally the conversation turned to booze, and not your average she shed moonshine (is that even legal?), but rather high-quality handcrafted spirits made using local ingredients and a whole lot of love.

Never ones to take ourselves too seriously, we wanted to create a brand worth gathering around. Something fun, bold, and different that also incorporated our reason for existing: to bring people together.

We thought long and hard about a name that was meaningful AND provoked conversation which is how Gnu Craft Spirits was born. A Gnu, or African Wildebeest, symbolizes that it is time to reconnect with friends and family, and gather your herd back together. Gather your herd today over delicious craft spirits and great conversations.
