When the Whatcom County Sheriff’s department needs help in a hurry, there’s one man they call.
Brandon Egbert is the Master Distiller at Bellewood Distillery and knows how to make really strong alcohol really well.
When you operate the only jail in Whatcom County and the entire planet is in the midst of a coronavirus epidemic, you need really strong alcohol. For sanitizing of course.
And when there’s no sanitizer left, and the government has run out, you go looking for the nearest distillery.
Thankfully, Bellewood Distillery makes alcohol. A few tweaks, and suddenly you’re using it to kill germs on your hands and clean surfaces rather than drinking it. Although both uses make you feel pretty good about life.
Bellewood is giving away hand sanitizer today and continuing to produce it in volume for local businesses to purchase.
They’re part of a growing number of distilleries that have stepped up during a massive shortage, to produce alcohol for sanitizing rather than for cocktails.
Eric Abel and his family purchased the farm and distillery a couple of years ago, and are hard at work giving us exactly what we need.
And sometimes what we need is a little bit of alcohol for our hands.
You can contact them about buying sanitizer wholesale at: info@bellewoodfarms.com.
If I were you, I’d buy a bottle of Apple Brandy while you’re at it. It’ll make you feel a little better.
