Sterling, Michigan
Moonshine&Smoke
Small-batch fruit moonshine, BBQ out of the smoker, and long evenings on the patio — under one pole-barn roof in northern Michigan.
The spirits
Every jar has its moon.
Our moonshine is distilled from grain and cane, then finished with real fruit — each one named for the moon it drinks best under. Scroll through the flavors and watch it change.
Cherry Moon
Michigan's favorite fruit, in a jarred glow. Sweet up front, warm on the way down — the one the regulars order first. 35 proof.
Blackberry Moon
Hand-crafted with natural blackberry — sip it slow on the rocks, or let it carry your favorite cocktail.
Apple Moon
Orchard-sweet and easy company around a bonfire. Tastes like cider that learned a trick or two.
Peach Moon
Late-summer peach, soft and bright. Pour it over ice and let the evening stretch out.
From the smoker
BBQ that earns
its smoke ring.
Racks of ribs go in low and slow while the stills run. Dine in, take out, or eat on the patio with a moonshine cocktail sweating beside your plate.

The barn
Worth the drive
down Melita Road.
Timber beams, string lights, and a patio that fills up as the sky goes navy. Bring the whole table — there’s wine and craft beer for the ones who don’t chase the moon.
