Coppercraft Distillery Releases Gin in Partnership with Detroit Tigers

Coppercraft Distillery of Holland, Michigan, announced the release of an exclusive gin crafted in partnership with the Detroit Tigers. Social 416 Gin is made with 13 botanicals and blades of bluegrass, the same bluegrass that can be found in Comerica Park. The premium, limited-release gin will be sold at select Michigan retailers, in Comerica Park, and at Coppercraft Distillery’s tasting rooms in both Holland and Saugatuck.    

“We are thrilled to be celebrating the return of baseball to Comerica Park with a very special, limited release gin made by a team who loves baseball and crafting premium spirits for Michigan sports fans,” shared Brian Mucci, CEO of Coppercraft Distillery in a press release. “Our team is grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with the Tigers on this special release.”

The new product’s moniker recognizes the 416 feet between Comerica Park’s home plate and the Coppercraft Distillery Bar, located on the Pepsi Porch in right field. Branded by Coppercraft in 2019 as part of a multi-year sponsorship, the bar offers panoramic views of the ballgame and boasts outdoor lounge seating with a number of high definition televisions to create the ultimate fan experience.

Coppercraft was founded in Holland, Michigan, in 2012, and was one of the first licensed distilleries in the state. The craft distiller has experienced significant growth in the last 18 months, expanding national distribution into 12 states, with plans to add several more by the end of the year. Coppercraft was also recognized on the national stage in recent weeks, having been awarded Double Gold for its Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Gold for its Gin at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Coppercraft Rye Whiskey was also recognized at the New York International Spirits Competition with a Gold medal.
