ST. LOUIS – Soulard Island Distillery, a boutique maker of hand-crafted liquor made in the Soulard neighborhood, announces that ShowMe Beverages will be distributing their liquor throughout the state, starting with two of their rum products.
“We’re excited to partner with ShowMe and be part of their family of fantastic, unique beverages,” says Soulard Island Distillery (SID) founder Fred Barrera. “They are doing an impressive job getting their unique Missouri-produced collection of beverages all over the state, including major grocery chains like Schnucks and Hyvee. We’re also excited that the partnership will include co-producing tasting events and cross-marketing.”
SID was founded by Fred Barrera in 2016. He also co-owns Gran Cru Cigars in Soulard, a smoking lounge, in addition to one of the city’s top party rental and production companies, The Aries Company. While SID continues to create additional spirits, this initial deal with ShowMe will focus on their two award-winning rums, Aged and Smoked Honey. The rums are crafted and barreled in small batches, then distilled using ISTILL technology from the Neatherlands. ShowMe Beverages distributes innovative craft beer, spirits, wine, and non-alcohol beverages in the Missouri marketplace. Founded in 2015, it is headed by John Giarrante and Doug Wiegard.
“ShowMe Beverages continues to build its reputation on hand-crafter high-quality products, and these two rums fit perfectly with our offerings,” Giarrante says. “We look forward to building on our new partnership to the benefit of restaurants, retailers – and most importantly – customers with cultivated taste that appreciate the art of a fine, hand-crafted spirit.”
